Hello - I just downloaded and intalled CIS (Firewall only). So far, it seems like a great firewall. I would like to use it to block access for my kids to myspace.com. Can anyone give me detailed instructions on how to do this. Thank you very much!

Go to Firewall > Comon Tasks > My Blocked Networks Zones
Click Add > A New Blocked Address
Check A Host Name and enter www.myspace.com in the box next to it.
Then just hit apply.

No worries - we’re here to help.

FYI :

[Lua]madman’s repliy is the convenient way to do it. My way is the old fashioned manual way to do it. In the end they accomplish the same task.
