1308967 2012-11-01 06:12:00 *Or maybe type in the IP address(es) of Facebook - see if that works? Renmoo (66)
1308968 2012-11-01 08:36:00 You need to block it on port 443 also. Alex B (15479)
1308969 2012-11-01 10:34:00 Just use FB Limiter. www.facebooklimiter.com Download and install the free version and set it up. Job done - and work a treat when I used it on a business system to prevent staff from accesing FB & YT during work. Iantech (16386)
