It sounds like Nazanin is looking to be able to block more than just 
some websites.

Basically, you need a good understanding of Linux firewalls, then you 
can modify the network scripts with coova chilli to block what you want. 
Currently your modifications are overwritten on upgrades, but in the 
future I'll have a "switch" so you can specify your extra rules.

see /etc/chilli/ipup.sh and /etc/chilli/up.sh for a starter. If you 
aren't comfortable with Linux firewalls, you'll need to find someone who 
is to block the specifics that you want blocked.
