I also noticed that at the moment they can disable the proxy server if they go into the settings, I remember a few years back there was a way of locking down Netscape in Windows, although I can't find much on Linux for Firefox and I wouldn't know where to start with the source code :-o

Hi Rob. You'll be pleased to hear that no source is needed.
You can set up your firewall to only allow web access via the proxy. The clients 
need no modification.

Cheers,

John,

Do you know how I can do this? I'm a novice when it comes to the firewall on Linux.
