Configure website filtering on Cisco router
Need help in setting up the Cisco router to block websites.
Need to block facebook, craigslist, myspace, etc.
I tried the URL filtering but when i enable it, it blocks all websites. (weird)
and after i enable it, it asks me to add "any any port on the ACL" (dont know how to do that)
dont know much about Cisco, so it would be great if i get full instructions on setting this up.
thanks in advance.

ummm i dont think i have that network setup.
and that's REALLLLY complicated.
is there like a easy way, like normal routers have? just add the website to be blocked and your set?
tnx

If I'm not wrong, URL filter require addition purchase. (websense to be exact).
you can try to static set the dns address if you do your own DNS server (big job).
What I did with the place I work is to setup proxy server using DanGardian (free) and turn the category on from there.

i dont think you have to purchase it. or maybe im wrong?
i see it on the Firewall policies --> Application Security when using SDM
i just want to know how to set this up properly.
because as i was saying.. when i enable URL filtering it blocks all the websites.
tnx.

If you are looking for a one click install maybe you should not use cisco.
Cisco is and will always be a major part working in CLI. If this is too complicated for you maybe you should setup an isa server. That is more clickerdieclick. I hope Jfrederick29 did not see the question for you or else he doensn't know the one click answer too like me. And i know he's good !
My last link is not that complicated. i don't think you would find an easier solution. just backup your config and and folow the step-by-step instruction. If it does'nt accept an command it is probably not supported by your system. you need at least 12.2(15)T .
If it fails restore your config and nothing happend.
Good luck again !

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
just use the WCCP and configure your router to redirect all you traffc to websense and then apply all the policies in the websense.
It will workd.
It will workd.
If you dont' want to use the Websens and do this on the router basis then use the QoS.
Use the class map to permit and deny the website and then call this class map in the policy map.
Then apply the policy map on the interface.
