RE: Blocking access to Kids

I have done this by modifying the hosts file (C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts).  This only works by putting in the website of known dodgy sites pointing 127.0.0.1 at them.  This is a bit of a problem as you need to know about the dodgy site before you can block it but its bonus is that its free and easy to use - just use notepad to edit it.

 

I think you can either download and/or buy lists with "dodgy" sites

 

Good luck

Guys,

 

            I am now get close to being sorted. I have the network running, I am using a Linux box as my main server, doing Print server, File server, backups and DHCP. As well as routing. I am looking to also us it for DNS. I will be installing Smooth wall and then connecting via HH to the internet.

 

Two things now come to mind and will need sorting before going live.

 

1. How can I protect the nephews from dodgy internet sites. I would like to do this at the Linux box so as not to install software on all attached PC's. I know that there is no way to stop it completely but there must something I can do.

 

 

2. Should I use NTL and a cable modem or stick with HH and Channel bonding ?

 

 

TIA.

 

Paul
