1 for internet and1 is Finance (Domain Server)4 user connected to that finance server and they can access Internet also but how can i block the social media site from domain or internet server with out any Router only need to configure frm system
I think you need a proxy software to do this, like ISA
Ok, here is the spoiler Godish trick to this.
Note:
- Since your users are regular AD Users, they can not change their ip adress or settings already.
step1> goto opendns.com
step2> signup for free, get your Internet IP (Public IP) registered there (actually it will automatically pick it up) you just have to click confirm.
step3> understand their interface and setup categorized restriction on DNS Requests coming from your public ip for you can find50+ cat there e.g. ( porn, malware, tobacco, weapon, news, classified, games, social )
step4> once you are done you go to your DC DNS Management MMC and setup a forwarder there (google it) and forward all your dns queries to208.67.222.222 /208.67.220.220 i.e. open dns servers.
once you do this, in minutes your users trying to access social media (or blocked website) will begin to see a BLOCK page ........ VOILAAAA.
simple, clean, easy, tension free and straight forward approcah to your solution.
don't make no rules in ISA, don't worry about new sites being introduced. (OpenDNS) does it all.
if you still have a question, feel free to ask.
Thank you
you can create a zone on the dns server named facebook.com or any other social media site you wanna block & all the requests for this sites with return page not found.Also you can install HT Employee Monitor on each device & use to block the websites.
it is not optimal to deploy windows server only to do web filtering for only4 users, you can do this by using a firewall appliance like pfsense or sophos or m0n0wall....
you can do a lot more wuth these kind of firewall : proxy server, web filtering, dhcp server.......
best regard
Reroute the Social Media sites to an IP that's pointing towards itself(Machine Local Home Address). In this case, refer to this example: www.facebook.com should be pointed to.0.0.1. If you have a domain controller, create a dns entry for a particular social media sites and publi9sh it on the network.
you need to install TMG server from microsoft then you can block any site you want
Hi there,
The second server must work as a proxy server, that can be done as Mr. Mustafa said by using ISA server or any other servers, then u need to configure the clients to communicate with the internet through that proxy server, this can be done by deploying GPO policies to force the users for that proxy, next u will configure the internet policies for every user / group of users.
for my work i used a free linux server like zentyal (ubuntu based linux server) as proxy server, and from the group policy managment consol i forced the specific organizational units to use that server as proxy, next configured the catigory list on the server, u can add a specific links to be filtered or a category like Social, Finance, News ..
hope this will work for you
Many thanks

Block any web site using IPsec MMC and apply it in Domain using Group policy.
select your domain and create a new policy in GPMC Name the policy no internet and right click no internet and press enforced to check it and assigned group policy that sal
