I would like to find out how can I block Website and URL on my network using imfirewall as I do not have access to other computer on network and would I be able to block websites and URL in TOR browser and is there any spam malware or Internet security software issues using this software. Does this work same as Netgear router Website and URL blocker. as sites are blocked in normal browser like Firefox, Internet explorer, Opera, Safari but not in Tor browser. How this can be achieved in Tor Browser.
