For example www.hotmail.com host www.hotmail.com www.hotmail.com is an alias for www.hotmail.com.nsatc.net. www.hotmail.com.nsatc.net has address 166.63.208.155 www.hotmail.com.nsatc.net has address 207.68.172.241 www.hotmail.com.nsatc.net has address 208.173.208.152 Now insert all the seperate ip addresses so trafic to www.hotmail.com is blocked. However, when the ip address change, people can go to www.hotmail.com again, without notice. I would setup squid - http://www.squid-cache.org and configure your client computers to use it. Then you can easily control access to anything. For example, to deny access to hotmail.com: acl nohotmail1 dstdomain .hotmail.com http_access deny nohotmail1 acl nohotmail2 dstdomain .hotmail.com.nsatc.net http_access deny nohotmail2 regards Askar On Sun, 13 Feb 2005 12:23:58 +0530, spdesai@xxxxxxxxx <spdesai@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi all...particularly Askar,Eric Leblond,Jason Opperisano (which help me) > > I have tried to restrict particular website through IPTABLE and its working > file .i have use below rules for that.. > > Suppose we want to open only www.ndtv.com,www.cnn.com ....then i gave rules as > per below order only... > > iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.2 -d www.ndtv.com -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT > iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.2 -d www.cnn.com -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT > iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP > > and my LAN machine(192.168.1.2) can open only www.ndtv.com,www.cnn.com > websites ..not any other.. > > pl. give yr comments about my rules....is it correct/valid/reliable ..and pl > let me know why u not prefer to use IPTABLES for Allow particular websites. > > Waiting for yr replyyyyy.. > > Thanks > SUhag. > > > Quoting Askar <askarali@xxxxxxxxx>: > > > The task of blocking certain sites is definitly suited for "squid" as > > jason suggest and pls don't *insists* :) > > you can block messengers via iptables if you know which ports they are > > using for example > > > > ## blocking MSN > > iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 1863 -j DROP > > ##block yahoo > > iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 5050 -j DROP > > > > regards > > > > > > On Fri, 11 Feb 2005 05:58:05 +0530, spdesai@xxxxxxxxx <spdesai@xxxxxxxxx> > > wrote: > > > I want to use Netfilter only instead of squid....pl. give me solution > > through > > > netfilter > > > > > > Quoting Eric Leblond <eleblond@xxxxxx>: > > > > > > > use a proxy (squid trasnparent if you want) ... netfilter can not > > > > cleanly filter at level. > > > > > > > > On Fri, 2005-02-11 at 01:04 +0530, spdesai@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > > > > > Hi > > > > > > > > > > I have one linux machine with two NIC cards.
