Block or allow certain sites debian


Recommended Posts

hello,

 

I am using my debian pc as router and i want to block connections from places...a white list would be beneifcial for my purposes

 

 

I want to block websites as well as APIs on websites making calls to external sites like twitter/facebook.... I want to make sure these connections are not even called to boost speed (I am on a very VERY VERY limited connection speed) i am using a cache server which works great but im trying to shave off a few more seconds...

 

so i wont to cut out things that dont cache such as API requests and adverts etc any ideas will be welcome

I could be wrong about this, but I presume you'd need to edit the hosts file on your Debian machine. Here's a guide: https://www.weg.ucar.edu/documentation/hostfile-unix.html

I will look into this,

 

I know there is a function in my proxy to sort out the websites... but I cannot seem to get it working...i am using squid

I also use squid proxy, it's very effective along side Dansguardian

got any tips on setting up the whitelist? I cant seem to get it working

 

this is what I am inputting

 

acl whitelist dstdomain .example.com .google.com .bing.com

http_access allow whitelist

 

do I have to http_access deny all ? and allow 192.168.2.0/24 ? I dont know with this proxy :(

For Squid or Dansguardian?

For Squid it would be something like this

 

acl localnet srv 192.168.1.0/25

http_access allow all whitelist

http_access deny all

http_port 8080

 

and set up your whitelist with sites or *.gov type sites

 

You can take a look here for some examples

How did you get on with this?

hello, I got it working in the end, it was all about placment (cheated a lil and used webmin)

 

but now I have two problems to overcome... 1 is to use squid to block multimedia (which it seems to be refusing to do) and another is allow https traffic as well as http through the proxy so I can stop the streaming.... im stuck on this one

the 443 traffic is mainly issues with the Iptables  right now i believe...

    • We now know why Nvidia blocked yet another review, the new RTX 5050 is apparently terrible by Sayan Sen With its latest RTX 5000 series of GPUs, Nvidia has not been transparent with how its cards perform. The company did not ship review drivers for the RTX 5060 on launch day and has repeated the same deed with the new RTX 5050 as well. For those who may not have followed, Nvidia unveiled the GeForce RTX 5050 last month for $249 and released the Game Ready driver for the card this month with version 576.88. As such, the RTX 5050 has now been tested by Korean site Quasar Zone where the GPU has been compared against other cards that are priced around that same bracket. The site has found that Nvidia's new entry-level offering is worse than Intel's Arc B580, a card that launched around six months ago for the same price. As you can see in the image above, the Arc B580 was slightly faster on average. The biggest gap between the two was on Path of Exile 2. Another point in favor of the Arc GPU is that it has 12 Gigs of video memory whereas the RTX 5050 only has 8 GB. The 5050 was also pitted against Nvidia's last gen RTX 4060 as well as AMD's RX 7600, both of which are also 8 Gig cards. The 7600 is often found at around $250 these days while the RTX 4060 frequents around $275. The RTX 5050 is essentially neck and neck with the 4060 and is ever so slightly faster than the RX 7600. Once again this just highlights that Nvidia is essentially giving the same kind of performance that Intel and AMD GPUs have provided since last year or so. In fact, if we consider the Radeon RX 6600 and 6650 XT GPUs, which have been available for around $180 to $220 in the past, it becomes clearer just how bad of a value the RTX 5050 is as those 6000 series AMD cards probably get pretty close to the 5050 in rasterization throughput. Chances of something like "Fine Wine" are also slim given that the RTX 5050 just does not seem to have the hardware resources to pull off something like that later in this lifespan. If anything, we are more likely to see that happen from the Intel B580 GPU or AMD's $299 RX 9060 (there is already evidence of that). Source and images: Quasar Zone
