Answer 2

How can you call yourself an admin if you don't know that you can block sites from the router? You can put in keywords like facebook, myspace, orkut, tumblr, etc.



Your peers may find a way by using proxy servers but you can still track what sites they go frequently and eventually you can include those proxy servers from the list of blocked sites.

Answer 6

hmm, wow.



some answers are pretty much only telling you that you are useless, and not giving you at all a useful answer.



anyway, Im gonna give you the benefit of the doubt. Im gonna guess you are not an expert but assume you are not stupid and you do want to learn.



I don't know what kind of router you use, but you really need a linux based router.

I recommend you to use arch linux, since is a distro you can configure at high level and has great and EASY wiki. is not a distro for low level users, but you are a sysadmin and you need to learn a lot of things.



just take any old computer you have around (any pentium3 will be enough), an ethernet switcher and you can use that pc as router!

Here is a guide of how to install: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Quick_Arch_Linux_Install



Now, you need to turn that pc in router, here is guide for that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Router



now that is a router, you can learn iptables! iptables is the router for linux, and is really powerful!

it work with commands and you can really do advanced blocking with it!



blocking facebook can be done with something like:



iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m string --string "facebook.com" --algo kmp -j DROP



But thats not all! Lets say, you dislike the random section of *chans boards (like 4chan) and you want to block it, but ONLY the random section (normally something like http://somechan.org/b/ )



iptables -a OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m string --to 70 --algo bm --string "GET /b/" -j DROP



and thats it! now you are blocking any /b/ section of any website!



anyway, take your time to learn, and you can become a really good sysadmin.



...but if are too lazy or stupid and you don't learn, well then I guess the other guys were right...

Answer 7

one simple way is by using OpenDNS.

Simply create two accounts on each PC, one admin and one limited account. Keep the admin account as password protected.

Create an account on Open DNS and they will guide you about how to use their service. In you account you can specify names of particular sites you want to block or you can select from the categories defined by them. for example if you will select Social Networking from their list, it will block almost all social networking websites.



And also there is one option to record the activity, so you can track all activity on your network.

Answer 8

There are plenty of ways to block a particular site, this link will show from a windows 7 based operating system.

I am pretty sure tracking the sites and download details may be a breach of privacy. An alternative would be to set up an intranet. (internal restricted internet with only selected sites available)

Answer 9

go to internet explore, tools, internet option, the block site. Type the website which you want to block

Answer 10

For blocking just one website, you can edit the Hosts File, and it goes this way

1. Open MyComputer

2. Browse C: (or your Operating system drive)

3. Browse Windows –>System32–>drivers–>etc

So the Location will be C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

In the etc folder look for the file hosts

4. Open this file hosts with notepad.

5. At the bottom of the file, add the line as shown below:

127.0.0.1 www.xxx.com

127.0.0.1 www.xxx.com

...

7. Save the file.

8. reboot your computer.

Note: In this way add any number of sites you want, however you will need to prefix it with "127.0.0.1". And this way is easily got around

Answer 11

I have to agree with Simply Red. If you are truly an Administrator, how can you not know this, and how did you manage to get that job? I would not want you working for me, and you should really think before you post a question like that in case your Boss is watching you!!!!!!!
