Firewall/Router that blocks access to all websites except those specified

Take the easy way out, and use something like Websense or SurfControl. You can select the categories of content and be done. Just set it and forget it.

A Fortigate will allow you to whitelist more than 10 domains and blacklist the rest. You can even use string matches or wildcard matches for your blocks or permits.

You could also do it by policy based on IP.

You could also use category blocking on the Fortigate if you decided to do that.

Have you priced websense recently?

Putting 15 whitelisted sites in your firewall is difficult?

-Russ.

But Websense, Surfcontrol, and similar programs are so much easier. It is the easiet way to do it. Just set and forget.

X-No-Archive: Yes

I am one of those who sees convenience as worth the extra cost, no matter how much that cost is.

So, you think putting up a file server, installing an application, configuring your firewall to interface with it, and putting your list in, is easier than putting the list in a single browser page directly on the firewall? And paying thousands of extra dollars for the privledge to boot?

Intersting viewpoint.

-Russ.

No, you're a clueless idiot wannabe who hasnt a iota as to how much a site license for Websense costs.
