Hi List I have FC6, FC5, CentOS and Mepis boxes in my network. I have a proxywhich filters web access. I want to be able to force the entire network touse the proxy. Currently I've simply gone to firefox and added the proxy tothe connection settings - however any user could change this back to directconnection if they wanted to...
How can I force the network for each box to use the proxy and basically notwork at all if the user tries to use a direct connection to the internet?
Thanks in advance

Can you set your router/gateway to refuse web connections from anydevice other than your proxy server? Most web sites use tcp port 80
