Hosts is the plainest way to do it.

Subject: restrict internet access to three websites


Hello all,

 

I have a customer that wants to restrict internet access to only three 
websites.  The machines have Vista Home edition on them.  One of the websites 
is an https site, so we cannot use the built in Parental Controls settings.  

 

The main office has a Cisco ASA 5505, so no problem there.  I will just give 
the machine a static IP address, and use the ASA to restrict that IP to only 
the three approved websites.  However, the other sites do not have an ASA.  I 
am not sure what router they have (and will not know until I go onsite), but I 
am sure it is a low end unit.  I was thinking of using a hosts file to resolve 
DNS names to actual internet addresses.  

 

Any better ideas?

 

Thanks

Shane
