Selctive internet access blocking? xixi2244 09-23-2005

Hi,

I am a newbie. I have a network of 20 computers that are connected to
the internet. I need the users to be able to access only certain sites
for the most part of the day but they should be able to go to any site
doing lunch between 12:00pm and 1:00pm. And at the same time one
computer should have access to the internet at all times. I am looking
for a hardware/software solution preferable free and easy to install
and manage.

Putting a proxy server under internet options or specifying the content
the webbrowser can show will not work. Users can change the setting
because they have admin access on the machine.

Please help.
Thanks.

It will work, for example if you're using a transparent proxy, and
changing it's configuration at different times.

What sites do you think of you'll allow?

Yours,
VB.

Could you recommend a proxy server? I am not sure will I have to change
the configuration manually or will it just kick in? Can I configure it
wrt to a computes IP address? I am sorry for being so naive.

Thanks.

I have good experiences with Squid. But perhaps you better should
mandate someone, who's not a newbe.

Yours,
VB.
