Enter the addresse's in the HOSTS file
but the problem is that some users have different leves, and they will be able to see some websites that others cannot.
So I would have to rewrite the host files everytime a users login in to the computer? :confused:
dglienna solution's is very a pragmatic one. Other solutions probably need lots of development, for instance writing a web or socks proxy with user auth etc.
Maybe you can find a free web proxy that supports Proxy-Authorization on localhost with NTLM auth... (with url blocking support as well of course).
Buy a Firewall appliance for a business. That's the only way to make sure. Even with hosts file, people can still bypass it if they know how. You'd have a password to bypass the firewall, but, could also have many levels of authentication.
Use this server, it will allow you any kind of user access customization you want. Basically it's a proxy server.
