Block Youtube (https) through iptables
 

Hi All,

Currently I 've blocked the https facebook/twitter access through squid and iptables with the following rule for individual ip's-


-A PREROUTING -s 192.168.x.x -m iprange --dst-range xx.xxx.xxx.xxx-xx.xxx.xxx.xxx -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.x.x:80

I was wondering to apply the same rule to block the youtube https access. but after dig and nslookup results i found that youtube and google are using the same ip range. i don't want google to be blocked in my network.
Please suggest the best to block youtube https access.



Thanks!

Try costumizing this script, it restarts browser based on browser title.

Thanks a lot for the reply yooy. I am sorry. didnt ring any bell. how would i use it on my gateway server. will i have to block the ipaddresses first like i said before running this bash ? :(

Sorry that script is intended to block from certain websites on desktop computer&laptops, not on a gateway server. If youtube and google are using same ip than you need to find the difference and block something that is unique to youtube.

Alright. Thanks for your time.
