S - Small office of say less than 30 folks. Restrict access per machine or per user on Windows 7 workstation to 1-2 websites only. No access to anything else.
O - Hardware - Netgear WN2000 - new desktops running Windows 7
A - Netgear WNR2000 - allows functionality of blacklisting / whitelisting websites but it appears that I cannot do much granular stuff with it.
P - Make suggestions; implement using Netgear or PFSense?
Quandary
The issue here is to restrict certain employees to only utilizing 3-4 websites; restricting any wondering to any other sites. Budget consideration; most inexpensive means possible; with least maintenance and support.
I have seen a per workstation kludge of making adjustments to default settings relating to host files; browsers, et al.
Over the last year I have become familiar with the PFSense firewall. That said I can do this easily with PFSense and I do not see a way to do this with the Netgear WNR2000. The workstation methodology appears to be a bit of a kludge.
Any suggestions?
