Ubuntu Networking :: Parental Control/web Content Filtering?

Jul 29, 2010

I work at a cybercafe and i am currently plagued by users who, despite the warning not to, continue to watch porn and use p2p software on my connection. I have done some preliminary research on how to filter the web content as well as to reduce the bandwidth used by p2p software on my network. I found that a solution that has worked for many with regard to web content control is danguardian + squid or privoxy in conjunction with a firewall like firehol or something of the sort. Others use an os like untangle or clear os and install it on a stand alone server. then others use open dns. although i would like the open dns solution, i will need to install a dns client, ddclient and i am a linux newbie so and ddclient requires some compiling or so, and i'm not yet into that. I am also currently not in the mood to dabble into untangle or clear os bcos it will cost me a lot do download the iso's. Internet access is costly over here.

Before i go ahead to implement the steps in any of the tutorials i have seen, i am wondering if such a measure will even help at all.You see, at my cafe, i use my server to share the connection to all my clients. I connect to the internet using a gsm modem. then i have two nic's. nic1 is set to share my connection and my router connects to that nic1. nic2 connects to my router using a static ip to enable communicate with my clients. If i implement something like dansguardian on my server, will it solve the problem for me, that is, do i have to also re-implement the steps i took to configure dansguardian on all the other pc's, that is, my clients?

Networking :: Configuring Squid Proxy For Content Filtering?

Oct 6, 2010

My network is:
ISP --> SonicWALL--> Proxy --> LAN
Currently Sonicwall is running VPN, DHCP, port forwarding etc.. in a range of 10.0.0.0/24 and I have tried to configure Squid Proxy for content filtering (using squid 3 Transparent mode on Fedora 10 and Iptables). Now I need to implement the proxy over my network without changing the SonicWALL current settings (VPN, Port forwarding and DHCP).

Ubuntu :: Nanny Parental Control Timelimit Doesn't Work / Why Is So?

Nov 17, 2010

I use the Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix. To limit the time of kids using the netbook I installed Nanny and set the timelimit to 0,5 h.

But for some reason it doesn't work. You can see the Nanny Icon, but it isn't logging of the user when the timelimit is reached...

Did anyone encounter the same problem or is it just me who did something wrong?

Is there any easily configured parental control tools for openSUSE? I used to use dansguardian, but I can't even find a repository with it in for openSUSE? On Mandriva there is a GUI for simple parental control (time & user based), + dansguardian is automatically set-up with squid etc. running appropriately.

General :: Inexpensive Web Content Filtering Options For Home Use?

Feb 18, 2011

I've been using an old Fortigate-60 at home for the kids for some time but now the license is expired again. Are there any free or inexpensive alternatives? I'd like something I can run on a linux firewall and share against multiple users, with different profiles. In the past I ran squid and I whitelisted sites each kid was allowed to use but this becomes tedious as the kids get older and need access to more. I'd love something that could check a website rating or category list, let the user through for certain categories, and block bad or unrated sites. I don't really need virus checking or email scanning or the like.

Ubuntu :: Install Gnome Nanny - Clicking On "Parental Control" Resulting In Nothing

I have difficulty in running Gnome Nanny in Lubuntu 10.04. Installation is easy just by adding repository and do sudo apt-get install. But clicking on "Parental Control" resulting in nothing and I do not know how to change the setting for example, email only and no browing?

I think Gnome Nanny is user friendly and suit my purpose to stop user access to browser internet but email only through zimbra.

Ubuntu Networking :: OpenDNS Web Filtering Won't Work?

Jun 9, 2011

I am trying to block unappropriated sites on my ubuntu 11.04 with openDNS I installed it and in addithion to the catagoriegs I checked I also added some sites to the always block list, everything according to the site should work. But the problem is that nothing is blocked (also the sites in the always block list). I cleared the browsers cache but it didn't help when i try to clear the local cache with the provided command in their site I think it says it ignored my network.

About firefox,I want to block images only on facebook automatically so I added [URL] to the always block list in the images category and it should work but it just won't block the images. I should note that I use the same method on chrome and there it work like a charm. how to get that working on firefox?

Networking :: Ip Masquerading With Mac Address Filtering?

Apr 30, 2010

I pay for wifi usage. The access points are using mac address filtering. I know this because I can spoof the mac of another computer of mine and get it online. I'd like to get both the computer's online. I've been trying to do ip masquerading. It hasn't been working so far. I am not sure if the computer connected to mine through a cross over cable is revealing its mac address to the access points when communicating. If so, how does one get around this? ping shows connectivity between the two computers.

Networking :: Iptables And PPTP VPN Filtering?

May 4, 2011

I have a question regarding the use of iptables as sort of a firewall I suppose? Using a linux router which has a server machine connected to it. The router is also acting as a PPTP VPN server, which I would like to allow some friends to connect to so that they can VPN to my LAN.

The question I have is how I might be able to use iptables to apply restrictions to the VPN traffic to only access 1 IP? The server is on the LAN with an IP of lets say 192.168.1.25, and the VPN given IP range is 192.168.1.51-55. The router has the .1 IP, but the PPTP server on that router uses an IP of 192.168.1.50. How might I restrict the traffic from the VPN connections to only be able to access the .25 server, and possibly only on certain ports? I don't want to allow the VPN connections full access to everything on the LAN and especially not to WAN.

Networking :: Filtering Traffic On Network Interfaces?

Feb 8, 2010

I am manually capturing and injecting Ethernet traffic (using lib_net/lib_pcap libraries) for an application. At the moment , both capturing and injecting are done on the same physical interface (e.g. eth0). The problem is that all the traffic that I inject, are captured again by my application causing an unwanted feedback of injected traffic. This caused that I had to implement traffic filtering when capturing traffic, which is consuming resources and eventually will become too complicated to support.

I have tried using virtual interfaces to separate the capturing and injecting streams, but that also presented the same problem as all the traffic from eth0 is forwarded to both eth0:1 and eth0:2. If possible I would like both streams to go through 1 physical device, using more PDs will be the last resort. I am also looking at using TUN/TAP devices to try and separate the two streams, maybe writing a user-space program that lies between the physical device and the TUN/TAP devices to do the routing of traffic.

Networking :: Iptables + Squid + Dansguardian - Boxes Will Act As A INTERNET Firewall + Filtering?

Jan 14, 2011

is this possible on 2 Linux boxes will act as a INTERNET Firewall + Filtering: 1st PC = CENTOS 5.5 functions as a firewall using iptables with two NICS 1=ETH0 connected to internet with a public ip and 1=ETH1 with ip address of 10.0.0.1 connected to the 2nd PC Centos 5.5 with squid/dansguardian with ip address of 10.0.0.2

2nd PC = Centos 5.5 functions as a squid + dansguardian internet filtering with 2 NICS 1=ETH0 with ip address of 10.0.0.2 connected to the ETH1 of the 1st PC with ip address of 10.0.0.1 and 2nd ETH1=connected to LAN (172.16.1.0/24)

does this make sense? this might be confusing but I just want to try this, to protect incoming ssh from our previous Sys admins who intended to enter the LAN 172.16.1.0/24 network. And also to confuse them that they have to pass through 10.0.0.1 - 2.

Ubuntu :: Seeking Router With Parental Controls

Feb 7, 2010

a widow with 4 kids - 2 of whom have severe depression & signs that one may be suicidal and is taking interst in some dark garbage on the net. Overall still a pretty good kid, but he surely doesn't need help online to get further in a hole. The 15 year old boy is highly intelligent (whole family actually) and knows how to get around software parental controls with peer to peer, live disks, etc. There are several PCs - both windows and mac, and an X-box.

I want to set up the household with a router or similar solution that is smarter than the kid and his friends. I figure protecting the network is the most tamper proof, all-encompassing way to go. In the short term, I really want to lock that home net solid, while still allowing mom to do her facebook and the oldest to use the web for schoolwork. Dlink Securespot technology seems to be the best overall solution I have found so far. If there is something better, I'm hoping someone here can steer me to it.

I am making a proxy server that us dansguardian to do parental controls features.

Is there anyway I can set it up so all devices must automatically go to the proxy server without additional configuration. I am thinking something like it gives DHCP what it shows that the proxy server is the gateway, and then the proxy server sends it to the router.

Ubuntu Networking :: On Server 10.04 - Two Different Nfs Share Display Same Content?

May 14, 2010

This server is for dhcp and sharing purposes.I can actually access one nfs share via other ubuntu and osx clients on the network, then I configured another share with different mount point (different drive, different forlder, different contents).The problem is: when I connect form a client to the new one it displays the same exact content of the first share. It seems that is mounting the same share on a different mount point on the client and exporting the shares via the exportfs -ra command doesn't solve nothing.This is my fstab file

Code:
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation

Ubuntu Networking :: Other File That Stores The Network Configuration Content Besides The Int?

Oct 1, 2010

For Ubuntu 10.04, I can configure the network by "Network Connections". This configuration is done by doing the following operation sequences(System->Preferences->Network Connections->wired->auto eth0). Then I can connet to and browse the internet. If I type the command "ifconfig", I can see the ip I configured for eth0. Part of the content is as blow:

Quote:

ifconfig
eth0
inet addr:192.168.28.31 Bcast:192.168.28.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

But in the "interfaces" file, there is no eth0 content. The whole content is simply as below:

Quote:

cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

I think there should be other files that keep the eth0 configuration content.

Networking :: Unable To Route Traffic Based On Packet Content

May 7, 2011

My linux machine is connected to the outside internet, and I have a minecraft server running on an internal machine (192.168.1.201). Right now, I am forwarding port 80 on the linux machine to 192.168.1.30, which is working.

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -d 192.168.1.30 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.201
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.201

I want to filter out the GET/POST requests and forward them to port 8080. I can't seem to get that working.

Networking :: ISPs Content Filter Making For Based Laptops And Workstations?

Feb 8, 2011

last friday my schools isp enabled iwsva - interscan web security virtual appliance from trendmicro. all traffic is now filtered, and slowed down. videos and other videostreams are now useless. after this we have had serious problems using our netbooks with ubuntu, and upgrading workstations with ubuntu has become very problematic, or almost impossible. i have to run the update process 6-8 times before all packages are updated.

what can i do to document the problem in a good way. the isp tells me that there are no problems, and that it has to be a linux problem. (ever heard that one before?) the ltsp-clients on my debian servers does not have the same problems, maybe because they are using the proxy on this server?
