Danny: You could install squid and use it's ACL features to restrict access to certain sites. ACLs are very configurable on squid. You might want to install Squid as a transparent proxy - details are in the squid faq and configure your network so that all outbound web traffic gets forwarded to the proxy. That way, you don't need to make any changes to your web clients - they just assume there is no proxy even though there is one. - Barry > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Danny > Sent: 09 May 2002 15:58 > To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Squid Question > > > Hello, > > In my network I have the following computer > > - 1 FreeBSD File Server running Samba > - 1 FreeBSD used for IP Masquarading > - 3 Window Clients > > In my network I am hoping to achieve the following: > > - I want to install something that cache proxy such as squid > - I want a software that will allow me to ban users from access > certain web > sites (eg: www.hotmail.com etc) > > So what is the "best" way to do this? > Should I: > > Install Squid on the IP Masqurading machine? > And what is the best software that allows me to ban users from accessing > certain sites in my network such as www.hotmail.com? > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
