How do I block internet access?

Post by **DangerPaul** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 9:02 am

I am on a peer to peer network and I need one PC to have access to the other PCs but no internet access. How do I do this?

The simplest way would be to create a rule on the router to disallow internet access from that PC.

nevermind, I realized I can't block it on this employee. They need internet access to run credit cards and to update one of our national accounts. I just need to fire them for surfing the web 6 hours a day.

Buy a decent hardware firewall and you can block out whatever internet traffic you want and allow only CC transactions etc through. I can help you out with this.

Watchguard Firebox.

It works wonders for blocking shit and it is really simple to use.

I know this is "old" but if you can just remove the default gateway, or remove DNS settings from the system, so long as they are computer idiots, they shouldn't be able to "fix" that
