There was an episode where there was a Tholian web. It was not designed to prevent people from leaving the galaxy but to intrap it's victims during combat. In one episode, Kirk is exploring the innards of another starship that all of it's inhabitants went crazy and killed each other. The ship dissappeared into another parallel universe with Kirk. The Enterprise was hanging around for Kirk to reappear when the Tholians showed up and ordered the Enterprise to leave. They eventually exchanged fire and the web was spun. The energy barrier that the original author talked about was used in at least two episodes, one dealt with a creature called a Medusan (sp?) whose sight would make people insane, someone saw it and sent the ship headlong into the barrier. The other episode that I remember is that there were two creatures from Andromida? and they took over the ship and took it through the barrier. I don't think the barrier really had a name.
