Hi
Proxing was suggested but rejected as client can setup its own proxy.
Where as the server job is just to deliver a message to client that block internet.
And its a job of client machine to block internet irrespective of browser.
I will take look at GlimmerBlocker once I reach my office.
I want to share my current planning on the topic is as either use ipfw tables to add rule on http protocol
or create a kernel extension.
Can u guys please vote which is more feasible and better with appropriate reason?
Thanks.
Rahul
