Topic: block ip from some websites

[Will Ersing]

Hi,

I have a young kid and he is starting to look at suff he shouldn't online. What are some ways as to how i can block websites for just his computer or block everything except some wabsites? Also, how can i setup e-smith so that he can only go online for just 2 hours a day?

hi will, i use squidguard, its great, you can block website (has auto update on new blacklist's of naughty sites) and can filter sites with particular words, also for you it can be set so only some ips are blocked and some are not so that you can view errr, your "special" sites , also if used with SARG it can then display all websites that he has looked at in the past day/week/month via ip adress

you can find all you need to know @ contribs.org

ok this is verry good but what about blocking things like Expressions then you can control wht is going trugh the net of weird things that you can download and install. here is what i use this will block any attemt to download programs and then install em!!! just in case that they can be hostile or mean to get off again.
