I have searched extensively for a product that will perform a very simple task - log the URLs visited and email me the log. I am Mac only and need to be compatible down to 10.4. Does anyone know of a headless RB app that will perform this function? I say RB only because I would probably ask the developer for custom features. The RB community has been very good in the past to assist with these requests. The second option would be for me to have someone write this for me. The third option would be for me to write it (in my spare time, which is rare), however I would need a little direction with how to capture the URL string. As an alternative, I guess I could use a very simple proxy server, running on each client, that could capture the URL and then pass it on. Any thoughts?

Is it to stop this "playing" or to snoop on their activities? If it is the latter then the only way is via a proxy or ip filter of whatever manifestation, but obviously it is easier to install this at the end point of your network (your gateway). I don't know what type of network you have but if I was you I would place a server (Linux/FreeBSD) as the gateway and install a proxy on that. Then ban/log/trap whatever you want. You can set up iptables/ipfw rules to log traffic, block traffic and so on. So, in a nutshell, you need some block at the end point of your network before it reaches the "internet". (Oh, and if you only want them to stop playing, tell them!)
