URL Filtering and Blocking Crap with Vyatta
January 30, 2011
This week, I had a client who was having issues with his router. With years of use, he began to experience a degradation in its performance. Although the office is small with 6 computers, his only requirements were a router that can block roughly 30 domains, and manage to perform well.
I arrived at his office, and found he purchased a shiny new Cisco Linksys WRT320N router for $100 from Futureshop. It looks sleek and sexy. I disconnected his D-Link DIR-615, and proceeded to setup the new one. After getting through the setup, enabling the wireless, and specifying which systems would obtain which IP address, I found that the router can only block 4 domains.
