in my office we are using squid proxy server. i want to block few ips to download any file form internet using file, but they can access internet and browse website.
Restricting Access to specific Web sites
Squid is also capable of reading files containing lists of web sites and/or domains for use in ACLs. In this example we create to lists in files named /usr/local/etc/allowed-sites.squid and /usr/local/etc/restricted-sites.squid.
# File: /usr/local/etc/allowed-sites.squid
www.openfree.org
linuxhomenetworking.com
# File: /usr/local/etc/restricted-sites.squid
www.porn.com
illegal.com
These can then be used to always block the restricted sites and permit the allowed sites during working hours. This can be illustrated by expanding our previous example slightly.
#
# Add this to the bottom of the ACL section of squid.conf
#
acl home_network src 192.168.1.0/24
acl business_hours time M T W H F 9:00-17:00
acl GoodSites dstdomain "/usr/local/etc/allowed-sites.squid"
acl BadSites dstdomain "/usr/local/etc/restricted-sites.squid"
#
# Add this at the top of the http_access section of squid.conf
#
http_access deny BadSites
http_access allow home_network business_hours GoodSites
