Hello I am administering a network for a small business. I had a request from the boss to restrict certain users from certain websites. In fact they should only be able to view 1 website. Other users will be aloud to view any website. We are running on an active directory domain. Server is windows server 2008 r2 and the clients are running windows 7. From what i read Forefront TMG has the capability of doing this, unfortunately this is not in our budget right now. It seems like a simple enough task, but still haven't found a solution to perform this. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Hello, SQUID proxy server is a free solution. http://www.squid-cache.org/Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Thank you for the response. I am having trouble with that. Is this available in a windows format? Does anyone know any ways without a proxy sticking to a batch file, or a group policy? Thanks meinolf!
