Forward outgoing connections to port 80 through Squid (known as Transparent Proxying) and then get Squid to block access to the sites that you require.
Thanks, will that work for incoming connections as well? and will it stealth the connection? idea is to silence the port scanning kiddies.
Well, you can put the proxy in place of the webserver, and proxy to a backend webserver that never communicates with anyone except via the proxy -- which is called reverse proxying --, and then you could filter incoming connections this way. But no, obviously neither of these will "stealth" the ports. -- Regards, Aristotle "If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't take life seriously enough."
