I have a small network here at my office. Nothing crazy, 8 comps, a small server, and a 10 port router. Anyways, we have an asshole in the office who is constantly on ebay, selling shit and everything on company time. He refuses to answer the phones or do any of the work he’s required to do in the morning until he gets his ebay’ing done.
I’m tired of it. I need a way to block the webpage so that he can’t get on anything.
I really hate this mother fucker, and the worse I can make his day, the better.
Whitey, Fshowcars, S10blazed, etc… Any ideas?

We’d love to fire him, but its a busy time of the year… We gotta wait until like September or October…
Good ideas guys, but I need a more “diplomatic” approach. 🤣

with a netgear i would think that the only thing you could is disable port 80 (which is for www access) but i think that would affect all users
if you had a firewall this would be alot easier
here is a really simple idea though
just edit his hosts file to redirect [ebay.com](http://ebay.com) to goto some other site or even better redirect it to a web page that says “NO EBAY FOR YOU!!!”

put this line in these lines in his hosts file on his computer
the host file is located here: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
216.151.106.5 [www.ebay.com](http://www.ebay.com) ebay
216.151.106.5 [ebay.com](http://ebay.com) ebay
or on the netgear is their way to route outgoing traffic froma certain IP to null

yeah cause it would really take him long to figure that out since of course you get an error saying its a restricted site… hosts file will take him a while to figure it out

just take away the internet using my method.
pc’s on lockdown=win
I love the lockdowns we use. If someone fucks up and abuses the internet, we take it away for a couple days. It keeps them in check nicely.

He needs to use UPS to ship things out to customers… so he has to have some sort of web access… although, that does it thru its own program, not thru IE or netscape, so in theory would i be able to block all websites and still allow programs to connect to the web?

He’s also not very smart, but he is smart enough to type in [search.ebay.com](http://search.ebay.com), which bypasses those locks that you put in the host file.
