Blocking Applications from your router????

<< < (2/3) > >>

edwardsen35:
I figured out how to block certain programs.  My router has an option called Access Control.  With this option I can choose which computers and which ports to block.  Therefore if I decide to block AIM, I block port #5190.

Can I block certain web sites or do I need a gateway machine and specialized software?

I have a Multi-Functional Broadband NAT Router and I am running Red Hat 8.0

Sure you need to have a gateway to share the connection. And your machine already is a gateway.

You can block the direct access to web and set up squid to censor web sites content.

you could setup a server that will act as a router/gateway/proxy server and block certain sites with the proxy server.. thats what i do.

That helps... What brand and model? Different routers have different features and menus etc. etc.
