| 1130679 | 2010-08-22 11:35:00 | Yeah we realize that. Just tested it through the tor network, and it seems as though blocking through the router doesn't work. I only tested through the browser on the computer before, not the browser on the flash drive.. |

| 1130680 | 2010-08-22 11:35:00 | Wrong approach - unless the aim is to make the teen into a very proficient computer hacker. The more you try to ban something the harder the teen works to get around the blockade. I suggest old-fashioned parenting: "If you don't stop accessing those sites I have forbidden then I'll take your computer away from you and allow you to use it only under my direct supervision." If the teen calls a lawyer to protect its right to the PC then take away the connection to the internet. Presumably the teen isn't given so much pocket money that the teen has its own broadband connection! |

Presumably the teen isn't given so much pocket money that the teen has its own broadband connection! Yeah, but unfortunately there is ALOT more to it than that. It's not just accessing the above websites that is the problem. In this case, it is highly unlikely a lawyer would be called as it would end up getting them into alot more trouble than it's worth. Edited to add, the said teen has been told about these sites being blocked, and they are more than happy for that to be done. Just wanted the sites blocked to help prevent temptation of logging in.

| 1130683 | 2010-08-22 11:41:00 | Have a read of the last post here (forums.opendns.com) -- Closing outgoing ports 9001 and 9030 will prevent Tor clients to access (most) Tor servers and effectively block the use of Tor. | wainuitech (129) | ||

I did read that, but couldn't get my head around it. How do I block outgoing ports? I see how to block websites, but not ports. |

| 1130685 | 2010-08-22 21:21:00 | chilling silence among others could probably tell you what app to put in a router if you are using such. Thanks! ;-) Your router may not be capable of blocking the outgoing ports, unfortunately. Something like tomato or gargoyle firmware may be able to solve your issue. I'm just gonna come it and say your going to be fighting a losing battle unless you happen to bring good old fashioned parenting into it, as was suggested ;-) :pf1mobmini: |

| 1130687 | 2010-08-22 22:05:00 | There is software (usually used by corporates, so I do not know much about it) that can block flash drives on the computer, that may sort out the issue. | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1130688 | 2010-08-22 22:09:00 | On my router (Netgear WGR614v7) I click block services and I can block ports going in or out. Which router is being used? |
