This is my part in a panel-type presentation at Internet Librarian in October 2013. Topics covered included licensing issues, mobile apps for iOS and Android, and an affordable payment system and a great open source Internet filter and Intrusion Prevention System.

Notas del editor
- Credit card providers (VISA, MC, etc.) historically charged $1 - $3 per transaction, too much for smaller library systems to bear.
- We've been using Square since January 2013. Square gets 2.75% per transaction Example: $200 Auditorium rental = $5.50 for Square
- We have about $1380 in our system 16-port switch necessary due to circ machines AP is non-broadcasting, set up on WPA-PSK2 Printer is ethernet-connected
- $10 at Walgreens, Kohl's, Apple Stores, Best Buy, others. Comes with $10 rebate code entered after account is set up Android & iOS apps are free Plugs into combination headphone/microphone jack
- Padloc mount is specific to the iPad generation. I goofed & didn't pay attention to which version of the iPad I ordered. As a result, our Padloc is modified (warranty voided!)
- This is a screenie of the editor on the iPad. Set up categories, types, variable or fixed charges Save favorite profiles (probably more useful for restaurants or libraries with coffee shops)
- Has a decent reporting service, access through the account on a desktop. Receipts can be printed, emailed or texted.
- To change gears, how many of you believe that filtering your public Internet would involve something that looks like this?
- This is the result of serious money and some not very busy IT guys...
- This can cost you nothing or thousands, it's your choice. Free version is licensed under the GPLv2 license – free to modify & redistribute! Paid versions are more robust
- Shows both free and standard applications installed The Lite packages are the free ones, but this is what it normally looks like as of version 9.4. Web filter is what it says. Blocks by site, category, content, etc. Virus blocker, spam blocker, phish blocker for perimeter prevention. Also free: Intrusion prevention, captive portal for patron sign in, protocol control, firewall (custom rules), attack blocker (DDOS), reporting
- The reports page gives you links to all possible network data monitored by Untangle. You can print histories from web site views, monitor infractions of policy, and perform forensic analysis should an attacker get through. Peerascope example of porn views & shady sites
- Untangle can help you bend your network to your will, or at least make you look good doing it!
