    Redirect urls with IPtables

    Hello.
    I have searched along google but this thing looks really chaotic.

    I just want to redirect some outgoing urls (like torrent sites for example) to a default page, for example 127.0.0.1/deny.html I would like to do it via iptables, no proxy servers or software. Is that possible?

    I have managed to make all outgoing connections to one ip to be dropped by iptables with the command:

    ipatbles -A OUTPUT -d [IP] -j DROP

    But when i type a url instead of [IP], the iptables converts to ip automatically.
    Also i coundn't get redirection working.

    Thanks,
    Dennis

    why don't you use a proxy server instead????
    There is nothing impossible, for everything is possible; the impossible only takes a bit longer than the possible.

    You cant't do url's, iptables deals with tcp/udp not urls ( I could be wrong ) (eg www.yahoo.com/somaphe.html). like rituraj you need to use a proxy server.
