Re: blocking web sites

Hi,
Having read your post, I feel the need to share my experience of using the almost compulsory UK government universal job match website.
It put un-deletable cookies in my firefox, well had to sudo rm to delete them! I have since blocked the cookies in my Firefox preferances now I can visit their site with confidence that my security remains intact

You could use iptables to block an outgoing ip address:

I am getting cookies in Opera 12 that I can't delete, and it is

pi****g me off. Can I just block the site completely by simply

entering the url in the hosts file? Haven't needed that in a long

time, and still wondering if that's the best way to block sites in

Ubuntu 12.04...



  Thanks,
