Title: limit internet access
Post by: crazybob on February 08, 2004, 07:18:48 PM

Hi,

I need to put a server in a small office enviroment. It will provide intenet access via dialup. I need to prevent some, but not all, users from accessing the internet. I have not decided on SME 5.6 or 6.0 yet. It will be based on how easy it is to impliment the restricting.

Any push in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks

Bob

Hi,

I write a contrib to do that using squid.
http://vanhees.homeip.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=136&ttitle=e-smith-squid-restrict-ip-0.1-1.noarch.rpm
It add a new panel in the server-manager and work as well with 5.6 and 6.0.

Regards,

It installs o.k. on a 6.0 box. I have not entered IPs yet.

Could you please give a brief howto of this contrib?
I have some questions: This only works if we setup the client browser with the proxy info?
We have to enter the allowed IPs, so the IPs not included will not have acces to the web?
Is this correct?

Thanks

If you install the contrib from Master Sleepy via "rpm -Uvh e-smith-squid-restrict-ip-0.1-1.noarch.rpm" you'll see a panel in server manager wich reads "Squid allow ip". If you don't enter anything, every workstation is allowed to access i-net. (Because he is french, it reads a little strange). This is squid and the clients access the web through it: it only works if you use the proxy settings.

Thanks for the explanation! When you read "Squid allow IP", you MUST read "Squid deny IP"
