How to disable Internet use

soniquser · 01-16-2008, 03:03 AM

Hi all,

There is a request from my Manager to disable Internet usage on one of the Linux machine running Suse 9.0.

The thing is we'd like to have LAN connection but wouldn't want the client to surf around..

Could anyone assist, please?

Thanks..

Block the system by MAC address from going on the Internet at the router/firewall.

Or if you want to do this on the client, it can be done like:

Code:

iptables -I OUTPUT -o eth0 -d ! 192.168.1.0/24 -j REJECT

Replace eth0 with the actual interface name, and 192.168.1.0/24 with the actual LAN subnet.
