How to restrict Internet users

This is from the point of view of an employee. :)

If they are accessing the Internet, they must not have enough to do. Rate them on how well they do their jobs. If they have enough to do and aren't bored, they can't do their jobs AND be playing on the net all day. Performance reviews are a wonderful tool. If they ARE doing their jobs well, why do you care if they spend a little time online? If you don't want them on the internet, give them something else do to.You'll never keep them out otherwise. They'll just spend their free time figuring out ways aound anything you do. Give them something constructive and they won't have free time to do that.

Just an opinion.

My first thought is that you need to re-evaluate your connection needs.

The first step, is to determine what percentage of the Internet traffic is work related.
If the bulk of the traffic is work related, then, what can be done to improve the efficiency of the users?
Can certian web pages be stored on a server for easy access?
Are there other resources that can be provided to key users to reduce their need for going to web sites?

The key here may be that there is more access required than expected. You just cannot provide and devise the best solutions to your customers needs without checking on-line resources.
Both print and CD resources are weeks to months old, and apt to be out-of-date.
This will be especially true for security issues, and trouble-shooting.

If your company allows work time to surf the web then you need to look at security policies for your company. You need to install some kind of proctection between your wingate server and the outside world.
Either get a router or install a firewall nothing that suppose to go out goes out and vise versa.

I would diasble their DNS in TCp, if static ips are assigned, if not. Goto the connections\advanced tab in the properties of IE and uncheck proxy.

Hope this helps?

you may create a group and then you can grant access to those user who need that tool once you have install proxy client this on the server...
localy you can install tweakui to handle in this case hide some icons like IE
