I understand, but would be great if If I do a rule that have a
address like:
login.live.com
but when I try to do this, I receive the error
A valid destination IP address or alias must be specified.
I tried to do a firewall>Aliases but they ask me a valid IP... but
login.live.com change the IP sometimes...
What is your advice?
You can't add a DNS name in an IP field !
You should only add IP's in this list - but that would make you have
to enter dozens and dozens of ip's.
You'd probably be better of, using squidguard - but then again, this
won't stop them from using https !!
I am using trendmicro worry free solution, which has a built in URL
filter based on per category... I almost always have to add the
category "social networking" and "webmail"... these will block them
from using facebook and/or hotmail/gmail and the alikes !!
kind regards,
Michel
BTW
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Blocking_websites#Using_Firewall_Rules
has an error I think.
"You can enter a hostname in a network alias, and then apply that alias
to a block rule. Note the hostname will only be resolved when the filter
rules are loaded, so you will want to schedule a filter reload with
cron."!?!?!?
