I am from England and I am setting up an internet cafe type system for the company that I am working for. However, my company only wants this system to access its own website.

I have tried downloading some parental control software, but obviously I am not able to block everything. Does anyone know if there is a free piece of software to block all internet access apart from certain sites which you specify.

It would be great to hear from you if you can help. Please email me on damien.english@snowandrock.com

Cheers

Damien
 
If you're using Internet Explorer as your browser, you can use IE's built-in Content Advisor (Tools, Internet Options, Content tab)
 
In the Approved Sites tab of 'Content Advisor':

add the following entry *.* (never) - default = BLOCK ALL

add your company's URL and all other associated URLs (always) - ONLY EXCEPTIONS allowed

I tried adding the *.* under "Content Advisor".
Am still able to go to any website.

Anything else I need to do?
