Displaying custom error pages

charliecb2 · 03-08-2002, 09:58 PM

Hi!

My box is set-up to masquerade other pc's to the net. I don't have proxies or the like installed. What I like to do is whenever my box receives www requests from masqueraded pc's, if the pc is not "authorized", it'l display a custom error page in their browser. Where do I begin with this kind of project, anyone? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

You can't do that with masquarading.

Configure the box so it doesn't masquarade port 80 connections (or what ever ports you want to require authorisation for). Then install something like Squid for the authenticated access and set that up as the proxy on the clients.
