@Peter - Yours is most likely on transparent mode vis a vis routed which means every traffic on your network will have to pass through it since its an inline deployment.

@Simon - Have a look at untangle. Some applications are free but some like policy management, which is what you seem interested in will need licensing, but its affordable.

>From a very nasty experience here @ work, I highly recommend Sonic Wall. I have been trying to bypass it since it was installed but will little luck. Restriction can be based on ip address, and or ip range or even subnet. The sys admin is rather mum about its details e.g. how its deployed on a network etc, but he did say that its damn expensive.

It can also restrict certain websites based on the categories they are in, e.g. software downloads, social networking etc.

If you do implement it, could you send me pointers on how to bypass it? Damn thing has made my life miserable!

Hi guys,

I'm looking for an application that I can install on my server to restrict internet access. Something that works kinda like.. users 1-10, except user 9, only access the internet before or after working hours. User 9 only has access to a certain website at all hours. I have tried googling but what I'm getting isn't really helping, so I thought to turn to the list. Any advice?

P.S. I have installed AnalogX proxy, but I don't think it has all that capability.


Thanks,

S.
