program needed for linux 9.0 to deny certain internet sites

mcgrath · 11-23-2004, 01:12 PM

Hello,

I really need a program for the main gateway to block certain internet sites from the other computers. I wrote a program but i have to do it on every individual computer in the company and when i need more internet sites denied i have to go thru every computer and redo the program. Please can someone help me. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Install a proxy (e.g. squid) and a filter (e.g. squidguard or
dansguardian)...

Cheers,
Tink

P.S.: This is a Software-question, not a programming one.

If your gateway is a linux box you could do something like:

Code:

iptables -A INPUT -d $IP_ADDR -j DROP

Where $IP_ADDR is the IP address you want to block.
