How can I block the sex sites for our office using the apache?

[Sina]

Hello everyone.

I'm currently using apache mod (proxy) to only allow some limited sites on the net of users.

Now I must basically open up the internet but not allow the sex sites or sites with sexuall content.

Any Idea?

Thank you all

Hi,



mod_proxy is not really best for that but you can do some blocking with the ProxyBlock statement. See -->

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxyblock

You could have fun creating a suitable word list there !



If you are on linux/unix you would get better access control by using the squid cache proxy (

http://www.squid-cache.org)

rather than the proxying within apache. That's much more sophisticated in proxy terms and there are a few add-ons out there that work with squid to do exactly what you want. See -->

Hope this helps
