WEB FILTERING

[oyenibi4lv]

Hi all,

I have a 3845 cisco router, i need to block access to sites such as facebook, youtube on the router itself while allowing the executive to have access to these sites. I dont have a firewall for now, can this be achieved on the router. command line will be appreciated. 192.168.20.0 is y LAN ip.

Here is a decent how-to.

As its HTTPS inpection, you need to integrate a content filter of cisco or other vendors. Also you could build your open source squid-cache proxy and intercept SSL traffic on physical or virtual machine. This helps you to customise URL blocking policies for HTTP and HTTPs sites. The machine is connected via WCCP to the router.

  - Whilst a valid request , in the IoT age, the problem becomes 'broadened' and may need a wider philosopy approach. For instance ; we don't block facebook , because it would probably need to a 30% company productivity loss, as people would perhaps be more watching their smartphone then their PC. In that context, additional solutions can be implemented related to MDM enforcing products :
