BlockWebsites on network help please

[dannaswolcott]

I was wondering if there is a program out there that will alow me to block website on my network. I want my main computer to be the admin of the program. So if i install it on one computer, It will support all the other computers on the network. Kinda on the order of I install the server mode on the main computer then install the client program on the compiter witch i want to be apart of web blocking. Let me know if you know of any programs that may help me with this issue. Thanks in advance!

what exactly is your higher goal here?

You would either have to get a proxy server going and route all internet traffic through it, or edit each computer's host file and redirect to 127.0.0.1, and even then that is not totally effective

Or you could run straight from your modem to your main computer, then to your router. I don't know what program would block websites on windows for free, but I do know some for linux.
