Dear all,

Please tell me. Is there any way to block or allow client browsing internet by using code like php?

I mean when we want to block some computer on the the network we just clik allow or block on the the website that we write code.

so when we want to block some computer by ip address we just go to web address like http://localhost/blockclinet.php then add IP Address and click block or allow Button.

Best regards,

Are you using a linux box as a router? If so you would block any given machine using iptables.

Something like Firestarter, Guidedog, or even Webmin may give you the GUI point-and-click capability you want (if you have access to the upstream router or gateway).

It isn't clear exactly what you want. Do you want certain sites banned from browsing your website, or do you want clients on your local network to be disallowed from accessing off-site internet hosts?

If the former, and if your server is Apache, I believe there are a couple of ways to do that.

If the latter, you would be best to have a web server running on your firewall, and some CGI or PHP code to add/delete iptables rules. There are a few security issues that you would want to attend carefully to if using this approach.
