What is a best way to block websites?
As far as I know, there are 3 ways:
- Transparent proxy (not suitable for me, because with Transparent proxy HTTPS sites (like eBAY, bank’s websites etc.) will not work)
- Standard proxy (good solution, but users can easily bypass restrictions by entering web site’s IP address instead of banned domain name, maybe there is solution for this?)
- Block websites by adding web site’s IP to firewall (work like a charm, BUT many web site’s IP addresses tend to change after some time, so I need to check them regularly. Maybe there is some script who will do this automatically?)
And I decided to allow needed websites and restrict all other sites rather than blocking restricted sites (in my opinion it’s far easier than blocking banned sites).
So question is about 2) and 3)
