Hi,

has someone found a solution for this? I currently have the same issue
on a Laptop with Arch Linux whereas I don't experience this on my Gentoo
Desktop machine.

Would be great if someone could point me in the right direction.

Many thanks.

Best regards,
Thomas

I guess what you want to implement is a proxy server.

I think a proxy Server is able to achieve this.

Well I'm not sure if you can achieve this sort of censorship with a
proxy server, but might be possible.
Nevertheless white-listing will be hard work. I don't know if privoxy[1]
is able to white-list, but I would give it a try and find out. This post
[2] looks promising if you can blacklist everything in the first run
(but don't know how) and then white list just the domains you want.

Hello,

if you use GNOME try gnome-volume-control and play with the settings.

For me works a configuration with Capture (Tab Recording) switched
on and in the upper third and in Options I need to define the Input
Source (probably you want need that).

Best wishes
