I’m looking to set up network monitoring on my small 4 person office. The things I’m most concerned with are websites visited, bandwidth usage, and internet searches. I’ve already mentioned to the group that even though they bring their own laptops to the office, while they’re “on the clock” we can’t have people visiting gambling, porn or any website that could be considered offensive …thus making me liable for some kind of lawsuit.
So ideally it would be:
- Agentless (I’d prefer to not install anything on their personal laptops)
- Router/Firewall Based
- Not too expensive :)

i would use a small firewall appliance with the features you require,
the major known brands with support will be expensive eg palo alto, or fortigate.
however small brands eg Firewalla will work nicely
or if one is it savvy could build their own with pfsense.
another path would be to use a cloud provider eg zscaler
How much money do you want to spend and how good do you need the filtering and logging to be?
other solutions provided would work, but just saying, you should respect your employees privacy and not track their searches and websites. you could, and probably should, just block at the domain level.
