[clug-talk] Open Source Net Nanny-esque program

[Chris Lobkowicz]

How about a hosts file? (There are lots of customs hosts files avail to 
keep advertising, and malicious software at bay.)

Google for 'host file' for starters.

Rather than over engineer this, k.i.s.s.
127.0.0.1 is your friend.

Cheers
Chris
