Hi, I have been tasked with finding some software that home based users can install so that they can control access to the internet on their own machines. Basic capability: 1. Allow access to a list of sites only(whitelist). 2. Blacklist everything else 3. Do this on a per user basis 4. Do this on a time basis This is all for a windows platform. I have a kludge that I once used for IE users(set IE to use a proxy and make it the loopback and then allow exceptions via wildcards and URL's- Circumventing this could be trivial for anyone with alittle knowledge) but wanted to know if there is a more specific solution that anyone has had experience with.
