How to Block certain websites on my Mac.

I use the free "privoxy" program as a proxy...it sits between my browser and the internet and can be configured to block various URLs. OTOH, it's easy to circumvent: a user could tell the browser to connect directly instead of via proxy or use a different browser. A stricter filter would be to use the built-in "ipfw" firewall (for which one can use the shareware BrickHouse as a GUI) to disallow contacting certain servers...this occurs at a more fundamental level of the network connection and can only be changed by an admin user, so the user or browser configs can't avoid it.

Is there a way to block certain websites from my computer?

A website keeps saying "This website is a threat to your computer" or something like that when I go to certain websites. I scanned my computer with McAfee and it said that the website posting that was a hazard to my computer. I can't find any antivirus software (for free) to download to my computer that works (my computer says there's an error when downloading) and when I looked at the page again it had something that said "..I.. " in it and the I was lowercase so i figured that an official page would at least have all that kind of stuff capitalized.
I just want to know how to block this website (or get a link to an antivirus download, for free, that actually works).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I went to get on a website

Really no need to install anything to block websites, you can use the HOSTS file that is in every Operating System.

Just a matter of locating the HOSTS file and learning a little bit about how to add a domain or IP address you want to block to that file.

BEFW11S4-blocks certain websites

I have spent hours w my internet provider trying to identify why certain websites, which were always accessible, all of a sudden can not be accessed wirelessly. After much ado, I connected the modem directly to my laptop and low and behold the websites in question pops up w no problem. Since I am lame when it comes to this stuff, can someone explain to me in plain talk how I can access these websites without having to be tethered to my modem? Is the modem too old, why is it only blocking certain websites? The websites in question are academic and I checked w the institution and all is well at their end. thanks

Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!

I want to block certain websites

While I am having problems with facebook and loads of unwanted ads, is there any way I can permanently block certain websites or ads from Firefox?

Having a '''hosts''' file on Windows systems, and in Firefox use of the '''Adblock Plus''' extension with subscriptions are two major methods of blocking sites and/or files. With Adblock Plus you can block advertisements without blocking the site itself.

How to block certain cookies

How to block certain cookies?

If it further helps, I read recently an answer from Thomas Reed, one of our top people, who suggested cookies should not carry the notorious reputation they do.
I must admit to being a touch wary of them and I use a cookie killer called 'Cookie', believe it or not. Comes from the App Store and is about £2 at the moment. This removes them as you wish, but not permanently; it also removes flash cookies, a more dangerous breed. I will see if I can find Thomas Reed's thread; I'm sure he won't mind me repeating it for you.

How to Block Facebook Website

How to Block Facebook Website
All URL I put in Access Restriction (Internet Access Policy) have been blocked, except for www.facebook.com.
Is there a problem with my WRT160N?
Please help.
- Thanks

This model must use exact url blocking in which case blocking Facebook can't reliably be done.
If you had a dns server you could specify a bogus ip address for Facebook on your network.
I had to move to the AE series routers because the parental control is the best and blocking Facebook was easy with only "facebook.com" as the url.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

How to block a website (for all devices) on an EA6900

I'm trying to figure out how to block a website for all devices connected to my router. The only thing I can find is blocking websites by device. Please tell me that they did not take this feature away.

welcome to the 'smart' world. I think one of the best improvements Belkin could do is to give us back the option of the old gui. so much more useful.

How do I block certain websites from my computer? on all users profiles,

i want to block miro, limewire, etc from all users on my computer? my computer only tells me how to block it on internet explorer, not firefox. any help??

Hello Laura.
Are you talking about blocking access to the sites? If that's the cause, you can do it by using an extension that blocks unwanted sites ([https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3145/ BlockSite] for example) at your choice, or you can do it using third party software (like a Firewall, for example). There is both free and paid software of that kind. But Firefox doesn't include that feature by default, you'll need an extension for that.

Cisco Pix 506 Blocks certain websites in Win 7/Vista but not XP

We have been using a Pix 506E with Websense for many years and it has worked fine. We recently got rid of Websense, deleted all references to it in our configuration, and now on Win 7/Vista machines, certain websites are not accessible, yet are accessible on XP machines. When the Win 7 machine is taken off site, the websites are accessible. How do we correct this? If I have to post my configuration, what should not be shown?

Are certain websites simply not mac compatible?

I have had a mac for the last 4-5 years and have had only one issue in the past, which turned out to be easy to fix. However a new one is starting to crop up in that I have found that certain websites are windows and IE only. Is there a way around this? This has only occurred to me on three sites, unfortunately two of them happen to be pretty important. I would like to stay away from windows and IE as much as possible, nor do i wish to put either on my mac.

HI,
From the Apple Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Advanced tab. At the bottom of that window click: Show Develope menu in menu bar.
Now from the Safari Menu Bar click Developer/User Agent. Try one of the options there. This function only applies to sites for IE only.
Microsoft stopped writing IE for the Mac years ago. In order to run IE you would have to install Windows with BootCamp that creates a partition on the startup disk and install anti virus software on that partition.

Help blocking certain website and IP on a SG 300-20 Small Business Switch

Hi,
I like to block certain IP and website on the SG 300-20.
Being new to Cisco Small Business switch I she tried with no positive result. Could someone give me some steps or maybe direct me where I can find a step by step resource.
Thank you

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us for support with your device.
Unfortunately what you are trying to do is not possible with any Small Business switch.
It is true that this switch can be used in layer 3 and it will be able to route your traffic on the inside of the network, but it will not be able to route your traffic to the Internet as it doesn't do any NATting.
If you need to block any websites you will need to configure it on your router or firewall.
Just to be completely clear, this switch won't be able to block any websites.
I hope this was helpful
