So, I would like to know how to set up a proxy server and restrict thier access. W2K workstations (192.168.1.xx) Linux (RH 9) File server Linksys Router 66.xx (iirc) Cable Modem 24.xx (iirc) Have a spare box if needed. I'm now entering the realm of the unknown. I know about, but not how. Detailed instructions appreciated, or where to look for the detailed instructions. And no, I cannot unplug my daughters' computer. With 20 (almost 21) y/o, 18 y/o and 16 it's needed for school and work and of course, chat. I have set up the router to disable internet access from 2300-0500 to force them off at night.

Failing that, you'll have to roll your own. The networking side is that the Windows machines should not be allowed to talk to the internet directly. On an intermediate box is a proxy server that can talk to the internet directly and can talk to the Windows machines directly. On there you have multiple proxies, one for Mozilla (go where you like) and one for IE (go to selected sites only). On the Windows side you'll need to figure out how to set the proxies correctly, and write scripts to continually reset them correctly. While I know that all of this is possible in theory, I've done none of it myself. So unless someone volunteers to figure out any of these details, you may be on your own.

Is a $50 hardware firewall good enough to stop this? - (Another Scott) - (7) - Feb. 4, 2005, 02:31:31 PM EST

It should do the trick for now. - (inthane-chan) - Feb. 4, 2005, 04:02:50 PM EST

Specifically because of firewalls . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - (4) - Feb. 4, 2005, 07:11:56 PM EST
