I have a client who keeps complaining to me about employees wasting time on social media and games on their desktops.

The company has no windows server and just a cheap nas box for their file sharing.

What is a good / cheapish web filtering program I could put on their computers?
 
Tell client to fire employees.

Turn on Windows Firewall and block everything but necessary work related sites.

Make them sign a form telling them any attempt to bypass the firewall will be grounds for immediate termination.

I don't think this is the OPs business to provide business consultations to the owner. He's asking about a piece of technology that can help the business owner with time wasting on company computers. Additionally, I can't recommend blocking everything except for business related sites. That's a sure fire way to make sure your phone is always ringing because they can't access site after site.

IceDigger - Check out OpenDNS (now w/ Cisco). This might be a good fit for the setup.
 
Put in a Meraki MX64 with advanced security. Works pretty well for small offices.

Or open DNS, whichever

My mistake - I had this one mixed up with the charity thread!

I stand by what I said - I would go Meraki or Fortigate with the security suite.
