      I think the Watchguard firewalls can do this, you can create policies per user or per computer with very granular content filtering (even for https connections)

        Watchguard purchased Strongarm.io (a competitor to Cisco Umbrella) to get this functionality.

          They do, but content filtering requires an additional yearly subscription to use it.

            Even the Sophos XG Firewall do the content filtering decently well, not sure if they want to go that route but I am not a salesman.

              I can't stand Sophos firewalls.... guess what they use at work.

              No prizes.

                  DNSFilter with Roaming Client deployment would work. It is one of their use cases: https://www.dnsfilter.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-roaming-clients/

                    @RojoLoco actually they require a subscription even to switch them on 😄

                      The subscription, and the over-complication of settings by making everything objects instead of ip addresses and ports. Takes 5x to long finding what current settings are, let alone change something.

                        As far as Sophos goes.... my opinion is that the SG is a lot easier to navigate and set up than the XG. That being said - they both work well. You can download the XG software and try it out for free with full functionality.

                              I actually like it. If you need to make a change, you can make the change on the object and the rules are already applied.
