Restrict acces to yahoo.com and all subdomains in elinks using squid

Hi I am new in linux and i don't know how to do this. If anybody can help me. Thanks

Do you mean blocking yahoo.com to the client PCs?
In squid proxy server add the entry in /etc/squid/squid.conf file as below

Code:

acl blocked_sites dstdomain "/etc/squid/.blocked_sites"

http_access deny blocked_sites

Now add the sites whichever you need in .blocked_sites file, the acl name, file path and file name can be anything as you wish. But make sure to change the entries in /etc/squid/squid.conf file according to your changes.

Code:

vi /etc/squid/.blocked_sites

.yahoo.com

.othersite.com

.someothersites.come

save the file and reload the squid service

Code:

service squid reload

It blocks not only elinks but also block other CLI & GUI browsers.

And if i want to block them only in elinks what i need to do.

Could you explain the purpose that you need to block only elinks?
