PartyPooper Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I used to use a proxy.pac file many moons ago to accomplish something very similar to this. I just pointed the browser at the proxy.pac file and was able to use it to block ads, sites, certain types of downloads etc. Only worked for the browser though...

There are many freebies that let you do manual configurations. Try this link for a few ideas Firewalls CheersNobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal firewalls can certainly do this. The only reason I referenced the solution of a good Proxy is it can be set up server side. If you want the best protectino you can get you need to use a server, and run your individual connections through the server. Else the user can still easily bypass whatever protection you put on the machine. Especially if the user has Admin rights (which I assume they must or you could force them to only use IE and TCP/IP wouldn't be an issue). But to set up a proper server and load the correct software up and then configure it is well beyond the scope of this. The Auto-It script above seems the only auto-it solution.

ChrisL Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 No only weblocker is free and it work only for internet explorer ( so user may use other browser to bypass restirction)You read all the information did you?http://www.youngzsoft.net/ccproxy/proxy-server-download.htmCC Proxy is an easy-to-use proxy server software. The demo version can support 3 users and no time limitation.I have used CCproxy on my kids PC, you can add a list of allowed only sites in either direct into the program or an external txt document.Also that Weblocker is very good, if you dissable proxy server it closes the browser window down and switches it back on. Also you said it was for your kids so I guess it is on a PC which you have control over which browser they use / is installed. It may technically be "supported" by IE but you could try it and see what it does with which other browser you are using, also you could look at the proxy address that weblocker is using and set that in your other browser.

Simucal Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 He doesnt want to block individual urls. He wants to only allow certain urls, and block the rest.

supergg02 Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 He doesnt want to block individual urls. He wants to only allow certain urls, and block the rest.Right !! that is exactly what i mean !The question is more that allow or not allow kids....Imagine other situations:Like if you want to use a new mail software to access your mailbox and you suspect it to send your password silentely to an other server (ie. the autor server)... there are many other situation wich is a good idea to let only a white list IP connexion...thinks for all your suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 WebWasher, URL-filter and other firewall are designed to block a black list domaines or IP ! but what I need is a tools that filter all outcaming connexion to allow only a few IP or domaine (ie white list domaine or IPs)!You can set up a SQUID proxy on any Pentium III or better machine you have laying around. It's free-as-in-beer and free-as-in-speach, and is very popular, so there are plenty of people out there to draw on for help. There is also Squid-Guard, a filter/redirector/access controller.

Reaper HGN Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Super, I was actually working on something that does this. It isnt overly complicated and kinda hokey in how I approached it, but close to working. The premise is to have Autoit watch for the active window to be a browser window. Once that happens, it would check the address against a list of "good" URLs (compare root only). If the URL was not in the list, redirect the browser to a page on the system that indicates the URL is not allowed. Of course there are a number of potential issues with this, such as using a different browser, etc. However, that might give you a possible approach to your problem.
