Hello,

I am using RedHat 9.0, We are having 50 clients in the office.  I have done masquerade to share the net from Linux server to windows clients.

I want to block all websites except 2 to 3 websites we use.

Ex : google.com, altavista.com and alltheweb.com.

In the clients  side. I want to access only the above said websites. And remaining all websites to be blocked.  Is it possible.. If yes,  please give me the steps to be followed.  :?:
Thank you,
Sathish.

It depends upon wht are u currently using ??

If you are using squid then you can easily block them !! also iptables can be used !! so wht are u using rt now ?

Hi Ricky,

We are using for searching for a Medicines names. As we are related for a Medical company. I want to block through iptables.

Go for squid .. it is better for this type of jobs..  or filtering..

[Ricky]

Well i can tell you how to block a specific site..

Code:

iptables -A FORWARD -d domain.com -j DROP
