From: Simon J. Rowe on 9 Nov 2009 16:31 My darling children are very good at burning my 20Gb bandwidth limit in a week. I've dealt with youtube by redirecting youtube.com in my DNS cache but iPlayer is proving more difficult. Anyone got a suggestion how I can limit access? Simon

My children are still a bit young, but in preparation I've done a little background reading. From what I've seen, things like squid and/or dansguardian should be able to do what you want. http://www.squid-cache.org/ http://dansguardian.org/ HTH Chris -- The email address is a spam trap. I rarely use it.

I didn't look too deep into it but at the time it looked like I would have to manipulate iptables to redirect destination ports 80 and 443 to other ports on localhost. However I was never sure how I would stop squid from being redirected to itself. The other problem is that *I* don't want to use the proxy and AFAIK there's no way to identify users in iptables. Setting up the browsers to use a proxy always seemed like a non-starter as it's easily defeated. These days I have a server on 24/7 so I could redirect to this but I don't like being dependant on having two machines working to get on the www. -- Geoff
