Filter Google Searc

Hello guys. I' m trying to realize how to filter Google searches. For example: I have a URL filter that says: " ghost" is blocked. If I try to access any site, like, www.ghost.com, www.liveghost.com It' ll be blocked, but, if I go to google and search " ghost" I' ll get results, and the worst part, I can access imagens about ghost through google Change ghost for pornografic words and you guy will get my point. Is there a way to block it? Best regards

Nathan, Google Search is encrypted, so unless you set up SSL inspection (requires custom SSL certs deployed to all your endpoints), you can' t filter the search words. You can work around this limitation if you have direct access to your local DNS server. The procedure is described here under Option 3: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/186669?hl=en The above link describes how to force Google to not encrypt your Google searches. Users will get an occasional message on the Google search screen that their administrator has turned off SSL searching, but it goes away. The procedure above creates a CNAME for www.google.com so that it points to nosslsearch.google.com. The procedure works for most *nix DNS servers, but it' s slightly different for Windows DNS which requires an IP address for nosslsearch.google.com instead of a domain name.
