Re: different firewall rules for different users

That sounds good.
I don't need to transparently proxy, because I have configured the dansguardian proxy into the
browser that the children use.
So a group for adults that allows port 80 and 443 would work.
I just need to block packets except 8080 to the proxy.

I guess a default of deny all and then allow --gid-owner $adults (all ports)
and another allow 8080 for all users.

I'm not sure of the iptables syntax though (I'm more used to pf)

thanks, Philip
