Domain and specific 'word' blocking in firewall2
I'm using SUSE's firewall2 on my linux PC - which is the router for a home network. I ditched my DLINK router. The thing is it simple enough and was programmable to block out domain names and words etc.
I need pointing in the right direction on how to do this on my system now to prevent my kids from going places I don't want them going on purpose or accidently. Thanks. |
Hmmm ... have you conisdered using squid with squidguard,
rather than doing look-ups and dynamically blocking traffic through the firewall? Just a thought ... you'd also reduce traffic overall with that proxy-solution. Cheers, Tink |
Thanks - I do use Squid - is Squidguard built in that or a separate plugin (so to speak) is there something more you can tell me about what you're referring to in Squidguard.

Have a read, it's not very exhaustive. And yes, it runs on top of squid, comes with a list of things that should be filtered and that can be easily extended with rules. There's also a webmin-module for configuring squidguard. Cheers, Tink |
Thanks for all your help! I also found this which I should be able to puzzle my way through!

Pleasure mate, and good luck with
your filtering! Keep us informed ... :) Cheers, Tink |
