    Well, we don't really block these, but if you wanted to, you can install a proxy server like squid.


    Alternatively, your firewall may also allow basic blocking, but those can be easily bypassed using services like tor or http://anonymizer.com/


    Also, you need to comma-separate your tags in the question, so they show up better ;)


    Hope this helps.

    Why would you want to block these! Free Willy!


    If you want to, though, you can set up your firewall to block traffic to certain domains. Alternatively, you can set up a /etc/hosts file on your machine that redirects these domains for machines you want to block. This is a bitch to manage, though.

    This is simple to do. Just set it on the router firewall - I know linksys routers allow you to do this - so it shouldn't be too hard in the router browser interface.

    Why would you want to block these sites - people who want to access them will figure out a way to do so (or just waste time on another site that isn't blocked). Instead, hire the right people and focus on instilling a sense of professionalism in your employees and you wont need to worry about Orkut and Facebook as much...


    Technology isn't always the answer to all your problems :)

    Just set up the firewall rules in your linux system to do it.


    Oh, you're not using linux, why are you on an 'open source software' site then?

    Well we don't block social network sites in our company. However our clients use the FOSSWALL product to block these sites and more advance content filtering.

    You got no answers cause no one has the ability to provide you with the help that you're seeking. Thats the reason for all the BS that you see here.


    The easiest way as mentioned by an earlier gent is to go to your "run" command and type this:


    C:windowssystem32driversetc


    right click on HOSTS, Properties then uncheck "read only" if checked at all and close that window. Next double click on HOSTs, choose Notepad then enter this in the hostfile.


    127.0.0.1 www.mypace.com

    127.0.0.1 myspace.com

    127.0.0.1 myspace


    Hit save and you are done. Its not fool proof but it will work for those whom don't know better.


    Now for the rest of you, you need to learn to type other than gwenglish, learn to punctuate as well.
