Hi, this question is not related to a fully fledged, big local area network with DMZs and such.
Even the word "firewall" seems to be a little too "huge and mighty" in this context to me. "The network" consists of a PC, which is connected to a FritzBox (cable, no Wifi/WLAN), which connects to the ISP (internet) and (same adress range) to a embedded system (eth1) There are two additional embedded systems, both on a separate interface (eth over usb: usb0 & usb1). I want to block (DROP or REJECT) the access to certain sites (the "noise" which is produced mostly by sites, which all exclusively "only want my best": ads, trackers, analysts and so on...) I tried different tools: fwbuilder, which locks up either itsself or my rulesset...I had to reboot and Shorewall, which definitely is a great tool....a little too great tool and much more capable as I am... ;) I am sure that the problems are mostly not the problems of the tools but mine. Is there any simple straight forward tool to just block accesses to certain sites? Best regards, Meino
