Block google chat
-
Should I put http and https on the host? Mine is using https://talkgadget.google.com. Thanks
-
No. That happens after DNS is resolved.
In that example just put talkgadget as the host and google.com as the domain.
-
I got it working I think. Chat in gmail is showing this error "We're having trouble connecting to Google. We'll keep trying…" :D Thank you so much..
Can I also allow selected users to have access to gtalk?
-
If you let select users use alternate DNS, then they could access the service.
-
Can you walk me through on how to do that? :)
-
Create an alias that holds your special users. Add a firewall rule just above your DNS block rule that allows that alias to pass port 53 traffic. Then configure their network DNS clients to also use Google or OpenDNS. I've never had to do this before so I'm guessing my way through.

I think couldn't. At least I have never succeeded. . .. :(
