The following options will work on Alix:
1. You can also point your DNS to OpenDNS and setup filtering with them.
Make it more secure by blocking other DNS providers.
2. Anotther thing you can do is setup DNS forwarder. The domain you
don't want you define in DNS forwarder with an IP like 127.0.0.1 so that
it goes nowhere.

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to do website filtering on an Alix board? I setup some
businesses with gateways using squid and dansguardian to blanket block
the internet, and then allowing access on a per ip basis or allow
certain websites for the rest of the users. Is this possible on an
alix
board using a CF by taking of caching, but using the dansguardian? I
have see others asking the same, but not seen any replies.
Or can this be setup using rules?
Thanks.
Mark,
No, the embedded platform does not work with packages. Further,
squid is an extreme resource hog and would kill most Alix board
resources even under fairly light load. Lastly, Dansguardian isn't
licensed to be free for commercial use, so you may well be violating
their license by installing it for businesses.

Ok, I see I will have to reconsider my dansguardian usage. I see that I
can buy a license though, so with that it would be alright.
Well, with rules only, I guess it would work if you only have a
handful of websites (B2B scenario) that are "OK" to visit.
If I would implement this with rules, I would have to all the allowed
websites to the top of the list, and then below that block the ip
address range that should not browse other sites? should that work?
