Kev1n Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Is there any way to block firefox from accessing some websites, making firefox display the message "Server not found. Firefox can't find the server at www.xxxxxx.com" or something similar, so that the user doesnt know firefox is delibrately blocking him/her from viewing that website?

Salgoth Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) Best way is probably to use the HOSTS file method. http://www.overclock.net/faqs/44143-how-us...k-websites.html or http://www.logicaltips.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=506 Hope these help. EDIT: You probably can expand the host file entry to even point to a created html doc on the local computer with your little message text. Somebody here should know how it would be done.

shthead Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 EDIT: You probably can expand the host file entry to even point to a created html doc on the local computer with your little message text. Somebody here should know how it would be done. Set up a web server on the computer or another computer, create a file called index.htm or .html and stick that in the document root. Make an entry in the hosts file as that points to that IP address...done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Dog Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I think Kevin has children around him and needs a parental control type thing in his browser other than the stupid parental controls around. Is there such a thing as that like Opera has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undergroundforum Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Yes you can block but not from firefox but you can block from Norton Antivirus if u have it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Dog Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I guess you are more likely better off with Opera. Any Norton crap (obviously) is just not worth risking your computer for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty13 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 If you got a router and you havn't noticed usually your router contains a filter and you can set it to block access only on a certain computer or allow a certain pc to bypass the filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme $niper Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Use this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3145 It's easily disabled, but you can configure it so that the user wouldn't even suspect an add-on being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
