Hi,
I try to find a way to prevent a user to access certain web but allow him to
access to some specific web site.
- Windows firewall rules and ipsec commands are not an option here because
they will apply to the computer so all users will be affected by those rules
- Have tried some option of Internet Explorer (Content, trusted site) with
no luck.

Of course, a proxy will be the trick but just consider for now that I can
create one, I just want to know if there is a way to manager web site filter
in Windows using Group Policies or other tricks for a specific user.

I will also put this post in Windows Server GP and Windows Server General.

Thanks

No.
Group Policy is a glorified "registry editor",...there is nothing in the
registry that will do anything like this.

Even if you use the Restricted Zone it does not keep a user from going to
the Site,...it only keeps everything from executing in the browser (like
scripts) after the page loads.

This is properly done with a proxy server or firewall product that sits on a
server at the network "edge".
