Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
this question is not related to a fully fledged, |
| 4 |
big local area network with DMZs and such. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Even the word "firewall" seems to be a little too |
| 7 |
"huge and mighty" in this context to me. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
"The network" consists of a PC, which is connected |
| 10 |
to a FritzBox (cable, no Wifi/WLAN), which connects |
| 11 |
to the ISP (internet) and (same adress range) to a |
| 12 |
embedded system (eth1) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
There are two additional embedded systems, both on |
| 15 |
a separate interface (eth over usb: usb0 & usb1). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I want to block (DROP or REJECT) the access to certain |
| 18 |
sites (the "noise" which is produced mostly by sites, |
| 19 |
which all exclusively "only want my best": ads, trackers, analysts |
| 20 |
and so on...) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I tried different tools: fwbuilder, which locks up either itsself |
| 23 |
or my rulesset...I had to reboot and Shorewall, which definitely |
| 24 |
is a great tool....a little too great tool and much more capable |
| 25 |
as I am... ;) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I am sure that the problems are mostly not the problems of the |
| 28 |
tools but mine. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Is there any simple straight forward tool to just block accesses |
| 31 |
to certain sites? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Best regards, |
