Hi everyone, We are looking to block facebook in our office. We have a watchguard firebox router but are only able to block IP address rather than web addresses unless we subscribe to something called webblocker. I've tried blocking facebooks IP addresses but they seem to keep adding them daily and its a nightmare for me!
We don't want to pay that subscription so I was looking for advice on how to achieve this blocking.
In my limited knowledge, my first idea was to point all users DNS server to our Small Business Server. I would then edit the HOSTS file on the SBS server to resolve www.facebook.com to 127.0.0.1.
I tried this on one PC but it happily ignores that and goes straight to facebook.
Could anyone point me in the right direction. Please note we use a WORKGROUP and are not on a domain.
Thanks
John
