1277537 2012-05-26 20:03:00 Can I block the internet via the firewall but make an exception for 1 website only?? If so...how? mark1978 (13845)
1277538 2012-05-26 21:14:00 Have you checked your routers settings? stratex5 (16685)
1277539 2012-05-26 22:25:00 It's a complicated subject, so I'll cut to the chase. You are not looking to change your firewall.

You need one of the following
* internet filter program
* a proxy
* content-control software

1277541 2012-05-26 22:44:00 $40 a year doesn't sound bad to me. It's a popular solution for locking-down Windows internet cruising. kingdragonfly (309)
1277542 2012-05-26 23:26:00 You can do it Via your browser, depending on what browser you use depends on the settings.

On tools or preference of your Web Browser set the browser to use a non existing proxy.

Put the allowed sites in the exception field.

You can also use free software to block sites, or everything, or allow at certain times , I have used K9 Web security many times - it works well. Depending on what Antivirus you have, you may have to make some alterations in the settings to allow it to work.

Another couple of ways - Here (www.ehow.com)

I've been meaning to try This (www.comvigo.com) - I'll get around to it one day :)
