How to completely block Facebook

When I surf the Internet I always have a Facebook.net cache cookie in Safari. I already have installed Glimmerblocker, Facebookblocker, AdBlock, Ghostery, and Facebook Disconnect plugins all with strict filters but nothing helps. The option to block third-party cookies is enabled, of course. I don't see Like buttons on webpages anymore but the cookie comes again and again. How can I ban that terrible Facebook from my computer? It's like a plague.

Like many others, I have drunk the Koolaid, and am hooked. Thus, the problems with Safari creates a sort of cognitive dissonance for me. I have struggled with Safari's inability to do what it says under preferences and I am disheartened by Apple's nonresponse to the problem. This sort of incompetence we came to expect from nearly all other software and hardware companies, and we suffered with it until the arrival of Apple.
The larger question is. Why hasn't Apple fixed this problem? Perhaps this is not incompetence, but rather by design. This conclusion is more than a little disheartening for me as a user, and just as importantly, as an investor. It's hard to imagine a situation like this persisting under the guidance of Mr. Jobs, and maybe this is the first chink in the armor. Perhaps it has been the wow factor that attracted so many of us to these excellent products, but it is the reliability factor that keeps us in the fold.
I have successfully solved the problem by switching to the Firefox web browser. It appears to be completely capable of doing what it says - blocking all cookies, but it goes much farther in permitting a user to select exactly which cookies to block or allow. This is a sophisticated system that with its ease of use, suggests Firefox has borrowed a page from Apple's success.
I know of no biggerr threat to Apple's ongoing success than its failure to fix problems such as this one, for after the wow factor has faded and been stolen and copied by every other Tom, Dick and Harry manufacturer out there, it is the dependability and reliability that keeps us in the fold.
This is indeed a disappointment.

How can i block facebook on my verizon data

How can I block Facebook from being used on my data plan?

One way is to uninstall the app. Another is to "disable background data" from (Android) Menu-Settings-Mobile Data-scroll down to FaceBook and tap scroll down to Restrict background Data. This will keep it from using data in the background, but NOT in the foreground. Only way I know to keep it from using data is to keep the app off the device.

HOW TO COMPLETELY BLOCK TEAMVIEWER CONNECTION

I use ASA Firewalls within my organization, i need help on how we can completely block teamviewer connections in and out of my organizations network.
thank you

Hello Salawu,
There has been a lot of discussions about these and what I can tell you from that is Team-Viewer is an application that is really difficult to block as it jumps from port to port to be able to reach their servers to the point they can use Port TCP/80 and I am quite sure you do not want to block that.
Some people have talked about instead of filtering the traffic to their IPs (as there are many many) to use DNS inspection with regex and then block their domain instead.
Note: Check this post for that
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11536791/block-teamviwer-cisco-asa-5520-82
I have even seen that it can jump to port TCP/443 (HTTPS) where the traffic goes encrypted so the firewall will not be able to filter this as the traffic will not go in clear text.
The only way You could make this happen is if you have a Next-Generation Firewall and you implement the CX module to be Fully Application Aware and filter the Team-Viewer application (You might even enable SSL Decryption in case it uses port 443).
I hope this answer helps you and remember to rate my answers :)

How to block facebook on firefox

Can someone please tell me how to block facebook on Firefox? Windows 7

Hi,
I have succeeded on a WRT310N.
Go to the Access Restriction Screen
Enter a policy name under the appropriate field
Set staus to enabled (IMPORTANT)
Click the Edit List button and enter the PC(s) you want restricted. If using assign IP automatically and DHCP set the IP range that covers the DHCP range. If you want some PC's to have access and some no access, make the PC's you want to have access as a fixed IP address.
Set ACCESS RESTRICTION to allow
Set the schedule. (You may need to create multiple policies if you want to allow it part of the time
Enter the URL you want restricted in this case www.facebook.com (up to 4 sites per policy)
Click on save settings
Make sure that you are operating in the time frame you specified and test the blocking.
Since this policy will allow internet access only during the schedule specified, if the schedule was not 24 hrs, you may have to create another policy to cover the other time.
Hope that helps

How do I unblock facebook? (accidentally blocked)

I was in the process of "unliking" facebook pages that I had previously "liked." I found on my wall a list of upcoming events, that included an event from a page I had just "unliked." I clicked to block this event and somehow it blocked facebook completely. When I try to load facebook, I get a popup saying "This website, or elements thereof, are on the BlockSite blacklist (or not on the whitelist) and have not been loaded."

Thank you. It was Block Site that was the issue.

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 restrict/block replication of contact person? SAP CRM 7.0 ehp 2

Hello fellow crm consultants,
I am looking for a (hopefully) standard solution to restrict the replication of contact persons (CP) from crm to ecc back and forth while they are related/linked to a customer.
In this current scenario we create a new customer on the CRM side and immediately link new or existing contact persons to this customer before saving the new entity. Upon save the data is being replicated and creates the same in ECC. However there is not CP replication been setup between CRM/ECC meaning that normally no contact person information is being replicated or synced between these systems. But only when the customer is being replicated including contact person(s) this is information coming through anyways. I want to completely block the CP information and only replicate the customer information.
Is above possible in SAP CRM 7.0 ehp 2 and how through customization?
Thanks in advance.. points will be rewarded.
Regards,
Rogier

Hi,
If you want to replicate only customers from CRM to ECC, you can set a filter in the subscription on IS_CUSTOMER = "X" for example. That will stop replication of contact persons, organization units, employees, etc.
See following oss note: 1834681 - How to set filter for BP upload from CRM to ECC
But for something more complex, you might need to implement a function module and add it to table CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU. Kindly check following oss note for an example:
638628 - No contact person upload into R/3: Example for exit users
Best regards,
Nicolas.

How do I block a popup window that I have allowed to open on Firefox once? I now have the popup blocker set to block all sites, but the popup still opens every time I open Firefox or open (sometimes) a new tab.

How do I block a popup? I allowed this popup to open once. Now I have set the popup blocker to block all sites but this popup still opens every time I open Firefox and sometimes (usually) when I open a new tab.
I Have stopped and restarted Firefox multiple times.
I have rebooted the computer.
I have set the tools/options/content/block pop-up windows/exceptions to block all sites (no exceptions).
I have no other issues with Firefox.
I have Adblock plus (with (1) subscription) installed
I am currently using Firefox version 4.0 on Windows7 Ultimate.

Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Here are some other things to check:
(1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
(3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
(4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that cures it.

How do I block a website?

I have an addiction to some forums and social networking sites.. I've tried removing them from all my favorites to deter me from visiting them, but I find myself just typing out the web addresses. It's that bad. How can I block these sites completely from my usage?

Although a browser is probably not the right tool to block websites, there are some add-ons that might help: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=block+websites
Other more advanced options: Configure your router to block some websites; use website filtering software; edit the hosts file of your OS to block sites; use services such as OpenDNS or other filtering services, perhaps even Torproject with Torbutton for Firefox etc. etc. Research carefully before deciding.

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Because your issue is about ASP.NET website programming, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum:

Please Help... i lost my macbook and there are so many accounts that haven't been logged out yet. how can i block my old macbook? (block from everything)

There are so many accounts that haven't been logged out yet. how can i block my old macbook? (block from everything like it cant be used at all again)

It should be unnecessary to point out that leaving one's computer logged into anything that requires security is foolhardy. The reason there's a login process is so you will have the opportunity to log out and thereby secure your account. Failing to do so completely defeats the purpose and leaves you wide open to catastrophic consequences.
