How do I go about blocking websites using Sudo in Terminal?

Nobody in the Kenwood Towne Center locations seems to know how or they are to scared. I came here so that if anything went wrong they would be the ones responsible & it under warranty not me.

I answered your original question, however since adult content websites number in the hundreds of thousands, new ones created everyday, it would be unrealistic to use the hosts file for this.
My list is only 16,000 and generated by thousands of IT workers, the amount of adult content online is well in excess of being managed except by a population of say New York City working on it 24/7 to get it all catagorized.
If you subscribe to OpenDNS, they do have a decent adult content filtering system, but it's not perfect at all as I tried it, it does a good job of blocking a lot of accidential visits to major known sites, but not if one is smart, learns the bypass trick from a friend or/and their intent is to find that material as it's everywhere.
OpenDNS may slow down your downloads of Apple/Akamai based content which uses the closet ISP server to download to you.
You need to check your location that OpenDNS has a server near your location or experience slow or problematic downloads.
You can search Wikipedia for OpenDNS, their server locations are there, if your ISP server is very near the same city, then you should't experience a delay in downloading from Apple/Akamai servers.
If I'm talking too geek speak, then just copy my post for later and likely it will make sense if you run into a problem.

  • I need to know how I will create a dynamic website using php and mysql

    I need to know how will I create a dynamic website using php and mysql that people could have the abilities of registering in the website, and modify their profile where they can add their pictures and everything. apart from that, they should have the ability to search about other member. hope to here more from you.

    If you are a right-brained creative, and have no previous experience or propensity to be able to understand coding and database "stuff", and/or if your time can be better spent on other skills, I recommend you save your sanity and hire a developer... or at least the first time around. I have been attempting to grasp this for years... and have a library of marked up books to prove my efforts, all while trying to keep up with an ongoing client base that is always cramped. It's a wonder I still have my sanity... then again, I might not be the best person to determine that. Others might question it.
    That said, I still plan to master php... one of these days.

  • How do i complain about having no use of iphone whilst transferring data therefore to find out if eligable for compensation?

    How do i complain about having no use of iphone whilst transferring data & waiting for updates and used a big chunk of my mobile intenet allowance as had it plugged into laptop all day!-therefore to find out if eligable for compensation?.

    Nothing is ever as easy as it should be, though I've no idea what you were doing that took so long. Takes at most 5 mins to insert a SIM card, choose a language and activate the phone. At that point it is working. Another 5-10 mins should get you connected to your email account. You can add media & apps when you're not busy doing something else, and the phone can still make & receive calls while you're doing that!
    The web is geared towards always on all you can eat broadband. If you run mobile broadband with a data cap or escalating charges then you need to manage the usage carefully, it is nobody else's problem.
    Sorry if I've come over a trifle harsh on your first visit here, but these forums are for users to help each other resolve technical issues. However badly your first day setting things up went there is nothing to be done about it now, A little research, or a chat with a knowledgeable friend or colleague, or getting the phone set up at the store would have made it easy. Chalk it up to experience and move on.

    hi, you can use the sys_context function, like this:
    select sys_context('userenv','current_user'),
         sys_context('userenv','os_user'),
         sys_context('userenv','host'),
         sys_context('userenv','ip_address'),
         sys_context('userenv','instance'),
         sys_context('userenv','sessionid'),
         sys_context('userenv','terminal')
    from dual;
    Is this what you 're looking for?

  • How to launch a finder with password requested, not using  sudo in terminal

    Hi,
       I would like to have a finder with password requested in Mac like we move the the driver in /System/Library/extensions folder to trash by command lines.  Using "sudo delete"  in terminal will have the DOS-style and not good-looking for users.  That is, I would like to have the GUI with password by some commands(or scripts) before I removing the driver.
    Thanks for your help.
    Jason

    You shouldn't be doing anything with system files. Those don't belong to you. If you need to install or update software in /Library, create an installer package. It will run as root, after prompting for administrator credentials.

  • Using SUDO In Terminal - Mavericks

    Before Mavericks, I could run an administrative command in Terminal, it would prompt me for a password, I would type the password to my admin account and everything worked fine.
    Now, when I run an administrative command, I get prompted for MY password.  I then see the following error message:
    Sorry, user " " is not allowed to execute ...
    How can I repair this so when I run a command using SUDO, I get prompted for the administrative password again.
    I followed the process of enabling the root account and set a password for it, but this is still not working.  Do I need to reboot or something?
    Thank you for any help!

    Slow boots?  Look for site-local modifications, add-on enhancements and related; at whatever baggage is part of the local startup.   More often than not, there's add-on software that's starting up that's lengthening the boot time.
    Look at the boot logs.
    Perform a verbose bootstrap.
    Figure out what's wrong or come up with a theory, try some specific changes to prove or disprove the theory, reset the changes back if the tests don't work out, and try another change.
    Try a clean Mavericks install, and compare how fast that boots.
    Look for the usual sorts of hardware bottlenecks, too.  Slow disks.  Insufficient free memory that then forces memory reclamation.  Slow networks.   Slow processors.  Etc.
    No-cost short-cuts to better system performance?  Those are really rare.

  • How do i unblock self blocked websites

    I blocked 2 websites which had began accessing the companies mexican version with (.mex) in the address. I believed that if I blocked the .mex addresses, I would be able to access the U.S. version as I regularly do and the normal websites would not be hijacked again. However, it blocked all access to both websites. How do I unblock the english version and block the mexican websites? It just started doing this at the beginning of the year.

    Hi FredMcD
    The websites I tried to block were homedepot.mx.com and lowes.mx.com. I am in the US so I have no idea why the .mx started coming up in the address. After this happened continually, I decided the only way to remedy it was to block both websites with .mx in the address using Tools. I had to do this last year for another website that suddenly began accessing the website in Australia and after blocking it I was able to get to the regular website. I use these websites often to order items for renovations. This is driving me crazy. Please help.

  • How do I go about animating and using the animated scene?

    I am trying to work out the smartest way to do an animation and I hope someone can help me here.
    I have a scene with water and 2 boats and I need to get the boats moving as if they are swaying in the water at the dock. The user will be able to click one of the boats and that will lead to another scene that have similar motion to make it look alive. This is only one part of a broader project I am working on. There is going to be many such scenes like I described with the boats where some objects will give slight motion to make it look alive. Each scene leads to another scene. The way I figured I would do this is animating the scene in flash without much programming if any at all, ie, using the timeline. And then my concept what to export that as some kind of flash and then be able to use that flash in my overall flash project. Does that make sense?
    For an example kind of how the scene will feel I have included a link here to a site:
    http://www.saizenmedia.com/nightwish/
    So my question is, is what I described above a good way to go about it? If so does someone more understand how they would do it? or is there a better way to go about it?
    Thanks for any help!

    I'm having second thoughts here... maybe it should I should do it in After Effects and export it as a flash?
    Anyone?

  • Adobe Flash Player Update Blocking Websites Using Safari

    I'm getting the following notice everytime I try to navigate to a popular website, such as Google, Facebook etc. Worried it's malware. Says its an Adobe update for all the browers that I'm not using (I'm using Safari). Any ideas on how to eliminate this?

    Some content on Google and Facebook both may require the Flash plugin.
    As long as you download the plugin directly from the Adobe site, that's safe.
    But, best to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Then reinstall new from here >  http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=JZEFT
    Then open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click: Delete All.
    That will update Flash to be used on all your browsers.

  • How can I make an updatable website using Adobe?

    Hello,
    I am looking to create a website to host my YouTube videos, photographs, other information and a blog, and possibly an online store in the future. I don't know where to begin with this because I'm not sure how easy websites are to update once they have been uploaded (unless you use an online website maker).
    Could someone please advise me on what software I should use (I have created a business website for someone using Muse in the past but it doesn't need regular updating), and also how I should have the website hosted?
    Many thanks,
    Ryan
