I'm assuming this question would mostly apply to I did this for a customer back in 1996 or 1997, before transparent devices were around. The users dialed in, and their tacacs/radius profile restricted them to an ACL which blocked traffic should they accidentally have removed their browser proxy config. A Squid proxy was set up with a URL filter list, which was snarfed periodically (I think I automated this somehow) from a list the customer maintained. During black-out times, a time-based rule blocked everything. Worked great, though faded away from lack of interest. I haven't seen similar requests come up since. regards, Steve ---- Steve Birnbaum SkyVision Global Networks Phone: +44 20 83871750 Email: [email protected] Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
