Take the tour ×  I have a Barracuda Web Filter 210 that was
stored away in our vast IT junkyard about two years ago by
previous IT. I recently came across it and wanted to put it to
use but found that it's subscription hasn't been renewed since
its removal.  I called and got all the necessary details but
Barracuda wanted me to pay for those two years that its been
sitting on a shelf before extending my subscription for updates
and my boss pretty much called me retarded for considering
paying it. He called it a "ransom".  So, before I go throwing it
in a dumpster, I wanted to see if its useful at all to use the
web filter for a guest network or something without it's
updates. Will it still function within a decent threshold or is
it just a piece of junk at this point?  share|improve this
