I used to do something similar for porn-site visitors when I worked at a school. Discipline was not well-enforced, I had zero authority as the IT guy, and when I blocked a porn-site in the proxy, they all moved to another one within minutes (it's not as though the Internet was going to run out of them anytime).
Solution was to make a squid queue with about 1KB/sec bandwidth, and dump the most-visited porn websites into that queue. Sure, you'll get your smut, after about 10 minutes per pic download time. This worked far better - it was a bit like shadow-banning the website, in that they wouldn't be notified it was blocked, it just would be (to all intents and purposes). AFAIK, they never figured it out.
- kazinator 9y agoYes; they figure "internet is slow" and assume that it won't be any better if they go to a different site.
- narrowrail 9y agoI'm not sure if I understand. If they are operating through proxies, shouldn't the network admin be unable to MiTM them without a client-side cert? So, banning a list of websites should not work. What am I missing?
- yellowapple 9y agoIt sounds like OP is actually the one in control of the proxy (think enterprise-grade ones rather than proxy sites like hidemyass.com). Even if that weren't true, one could always just throttle the proxy as if it were a porn site.
- m0nty 9y agoYellowapple is correct, it was my proxy which funneled all web traffic out to the Internet.
