# Censor - Scheduled Website Blocker

**Dependencies:** iptables, ipset, systemd, cronie, bind-utils, polkit, gtk2

`Censor` is designed to block sites from the black list according to the schedule: `days of the week`, `time`.

It has three blocking options that differ in their effectiveness:

+ normal; sites from the list are blocked using `ipset` + `iptables/ip6tables`

+ dictionary filtering method; useful for blocking "difficult" sites like `youtube.com`

+ only web-surfing; method allows you to disable VPN, Torrent, Skype and other services

How to work

--

+ Add to the list addresses of sites without `http(s)` that you want to block

+ Specify the days of the week and the time interval during which the blocking will be active

+ If necessary, specify the desired blocking method (the strongest - everything is included)

+ Click the `Apply` button

Open a browser and check your work. If you changed the blocking rules again, **the browser needs to be reopened** and check the work again. The `Reset` button removes all locks and returns full access to the Internet.

In case the site is not blocked (eg `yotube.com` or similar), add another one of the same address with `www.` prefix at the beginning (`www.youtube.com`) and click `Apply`. Reopen your browser and check the blocking again.  

  

**Note:** I remind you that the time in the scheduler is set in a 24-hour format. For example, if it is `4:27 PM` on your computer, then you need to specify `16:27` in the scheduler. `PM` is the time after noon, i.e. after `12:00`.  

  

Tested in Mageia-8/9, ROSA 12.3, Fedora-36, LUbuntu-22.04.
