Blocking Internet
 

Hey I've got another tech question- I have XP pro and want to block internet on one account. I have been trying to google and all i can find is setting up a proxy- which is not feasable. I heard somewhere you can do it with group policy stuff, anyone here know how?

I think you can block the connectiosn, no mater if is an lan, internet, etc.

well its at school...this one kid we think was looking at porn, and thats why we have no internet, so I want to block everyone but admin(me) from having internet

The surefire way to block effectively is to firewall your whole subnet (setting your gateway policy to not allow anything in or out, or migrating your whole subnet to a private address block, e.g. 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), and require everyone to login to a VPN account before they're allowed to connect ******d.

well, uh, i dont exactly know what that means, but it needs to be a simple no internet at all so noone can get him on. i was fucking with group policy but im not really getting it

Damn Griff I was hoping for your unplug the network cable answer and then you actually provide a feasible solution.


Right On!!!

edit: lol who the hell looks at porn at school. In the schools here they watch what you are doing. Have your teacher try that sometime.

If you want a proactive solution (stop the kid dead in his tracks), there's no way around setting up a proxy or a firewall with VPN.

Yes, both of these two probably require a lot of reading up. (Microsoft TechNet is a good starting point if your server environment is Windows-based.) But there's really no easy (yet still effective) solution.

If you're okay with just a reactive solution (catch the kid after the act), try a complete TCP dump of the suspect's network activities, or install VNC on all workstations and then watch his every step. Then bust him red-handed (or single-handed).

well see he got caught already. im almost just thinking about saying "fuck you" and not even letting him on
