Hi Everyone,
Here is the physical setup I would like to set up:
Modem -- server -- router -- rest of network
If I bridge the network connection between the router and server, can I block certain traffic (Such as ads for example) from the server itself by modifying the hosts file? (Running Server 2012)
In addition, this server also serves music, videos, and files to a certain number of users (The hardware is very capable, so it wouldn't be a bottleneck) would I be able to get to this server from the rest of the network(those being hosted by the router)?
Notes: router is gigabit. Server has 2 gigabit adapters. Modem has fast ethernet. Router does not have ability to block anything.
Thanks in advance!
