if you want to bloc abc.com at your server - than you should run iptables commands on it, if you want to block abc.com only at system you are working - then you should block only at your system. iptables needs root privileges.

Read this;
Welcome to the world of secure, passwordless connections using RSA and DSA authentication : http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-keyc2/

or if you can make your system act as a gateway to your server... you can certainly run those rules at this box.

Dont do that though.
