A good solid filter for OpenSuse

English Network/Internet
#1

Hello to all,

I’ve got a rash! EEE It’s really itchy… Let’s call it the OpenSuse rash!!! I’m really anxious to get beyond microsoft
and on with linux. I’ve played alot with VM’s and really like OpenSuse. Everything software that i use runs on linux
except for one thing. K9 web protection I’ve searched the internet and everywhere else I can think of and haven’t found a
solution so in desperation I’m writing this hoping somebodies found something that will work. I’m needing something that
uses a password other than the root password to modify or uninstall. I do have connections and all it would take is a software
to enforce a proxy server with a password other than the root to uninstall. DansGuardian will do the job only it doesn’t require
a password to uninstall. Nanny is only a domain blocker. Browser plugings are to clumsy plus it only applies for that browser.
Supposedly mobicip (mobicip.net) has a filter that runs on linux but I’ve never found it. I sent them a request around a
month ago and haven’t heard from them yet. Preferably something that operates on a whitelist or a good content filter.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I’d really appreciate it!

Hi
Just use openDNS, they also provide parental controls…

I’d love to! The problem is it would affect my whole network. That won’t work around here…

Thanks

Hi
No, you can define the DNS servers per system, just enter them via NetworkManager, wicked or in the /etc/resolv.conf file.

Hey Thanks for the reply! Sorry I’ve been so late in responding!

Ok so I’ve done some researching on this and looks good. One problem though, I’ve haven’t been able to find the line in the text file I’m supposed modify. I’ve searched fior it and looked through the file but still no success.

Here’s the article I’m following: https://support.opendns.com/entries/38042114-SUSE-Linux

Also from what I understand there is no software that actually enforces this we’ve got to manually enter it???

Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
In the GNOME DE, I just enter in the Network Settings for the desktop,
this propagates to /etc/resolv.conf;

If you cat the /etc/resolv.conf file there are details of which
settings in /etc/sysconfig/network/config to change for your scenario.

Hi
What desktop environment do you use?

Else you can edit the file in question via YaST /etc/sysconf editor in Network->General->NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS and add;


208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220

This will then apply to any network connection to the internet etc, if you use a local one internally then add that first…

I use Gnome and really like it!

OK so I can do this and it makes sense but does anyone have any ideas as to how I can lock down these settings with a password other than root or will I have to create a different user account?

Thanks for your help! Any ideas or suggestions would be really appreciated!

Solved! Curious how I solved it? In the Yast Module you’ll find a module called Proxy. I entered proxy settings and my dad’s got the root password. :frowning: Will work for now. Now i’ve run into another problem.
