hello, i have a small company network, and lately i have noticed some of my workers are abusing the company internet access by visiting websites like facebook, twitter, myspace and youtube. specially facebook i want to block this website because it non-productive and its personal. so i was wondering what do i need to block all facebook traffic. i've heard using ICMP is used for blocking facebook port. is that true?
we can guide you step by step on what needs to be done: for example,
the first step you need to do if you are a small business owner is to purchase a firewall.
today, you can get a good firewall that will work with your small network in your office.
if you have internet connection at home, you are familiar with either cable or DSL wireless routers. these routers also function as firewall, you can block certain websites permanently. there is nothing your employees can do to change the configuration. because the configuration takes place on the firewall equipment not the computers they use.
so step 1, is to purchase such equipment. a good firewall would cost you about 70 dollars. dont get the cheap one, otherwise, you may not get the features you need, such as URL filtering. if you already have a cable or dsl router in your network, you may skip this step.
once you have purchased a firewall. call our team, we will give you instructions on what you need to do so we can connect remotely to your new firewall, we will configure the firewall and block all the websites you need.
Please have your credit card ready and we will promptly connect you to one of our expert network technician. We currently only take US credit cards. no international credit cards are accepted at this time.
example:
on the screen shot above you will see a snapshot of the firewall configuration settings where you need to make the changes:
Internet Access Policy: Multiple Filters can be saved as Internet Access Policies. When you wish to edit one, select the number of the Policy from the drop-down menu. The tab will change to reflect the settings of this Policy. If you wish to delete this Policy, click the Delete button. To see a summary of all Policies, click the Summary button.
Internet Access can also be filtered by URL Address, the address entered to access Internet sites, by entering the address in one of the Website Blocking by URL Address fields. If you do not know the URL Address, filtering can be done by Keyword by entering a keyword in one of the Website Blocking by Keyword fields
