ClearFoundation

I have a sister and brother that need to limit their internet uses past sleep time.

The only function I found in ClearOS is access control which blocks through the web proxy, but last time I used it it only blocked web access, not games and services like WoW and MSN. Is there a plugin or another way of stopping a certain MAC adress to access the internet?

you can try Access list under the squid..it provides avdance features...to edit this:

add this to restrict

this will restrict all users from monday to friday from time 9-17...
you can now customize this with mac address to restrict it by using


now it becomes something like

never tried this before with mac....but why don't you give a try....it is fun testing....

or you can simply use this rule to add in firewall..so it perfectly works for all outgoing traffic




hope this is the one you where searching

I use the web proxy to block my kids' access to the internet once they are outside their access control time block. Thus they can not access anything that requires an internet connection including MSN or games. I would suspect that it will work for you too. (I also use "TimesUpKidz" to limit their use of the computer - a couple of XP machines.)

I had this experience try to configure Access Control. Every time I set the policy, it allows the user to have internet anytime even if I set "ACL Type" into Allow and Deny.
Below are my configuration.
