How to allow flash for particular video on youtube abd blcok for other

raju_t · 11-22-2013, 05:18 AM

I used squid proxy for internet sharing. I blocked youtube and flash video in config. But want to allow specific video on youtube.

acl flash_ads rep_mime_type application/x-shockwave-flash
acl youtube_allow url_regex -i ^http://www.youtube.com/playlist\?lis...8SfwcZJErwuhiH
acl sites dstdomain .youtube.com
http_access allow youtube_allow
http_access deny sites
http_reply_access deny flash_ads

This line block all flash video . Problem is that how i can allow flash for only allowed video on youtube (Access list name is : youtube_allow) so that this video will be display and all other video will be blocked.

Pl help me to solve above problem. Thanks in advance

Hi.

Assuming that your video URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyAllowedVideoURL, you can add another ACL like:

Code:

acl flash_ads rep_mime_type application/x-shockwave-flash
acl youtube_allow url_regex -i ^http://www.youtube.com/playlist\?lis...8SfwcZJErwuhiH
acl sites dstdomain .youtube.com
acl good_video url_regex -i ^http://www.youtube.com/watch\?v=MyAllowedVideoURL
http_access allow youtube_allow
http_access allow good_video
http_access deny sites
http_reply_access deny flash_ads

or combine the 2 ACLs like:

Quote:

acl flash_ads rep_mime_type application/x-shockwave-flash
acl youtube_allow url_regex -i ^http://www.youtube.com/playlist\?lis...8SfwcZJErwuhiH
acl sites dstdomain .youtube.com
acl good_video url_regex -i ^http://www.youtube.com/watch\?v=MyAllowedVideoURL
http_access allow youtube_allow
http_access deny sites
http_reply_access deny flash_ads !good_video

Hi,

You should change the order of the "http_access" rules, so the 2 that allow access are read before the one that denies it:

Code:

acl youtube_allow url_regex -i "c:/squid/etc/Allowed-youtube.acl"
acl flash_ads rep_mime_type application/x-shockwave-flash
acl sites dstdomain .youtube.com .facebook.com
http_access allow youtube_allow
http_reply_access deny flash_ads #!youtube_allow is not necessary because of the above
http_access deny sites

Regards

Thank u.

I changed the sequence of allow and deny statement and remove !youtube_allow but still it doesn't display video (ie for URL in Allowed-youtube.acl files).

http_reply_access deny flash_ads this line block specific video on youtube.

Thank for support

I see you're running squid on windows!
I'm not familiar with that, but I think you should use backslashes in the path to the url_regex file

Code:

acl youtube_allow url_regex -i "c:\squid\etc\Allowed-youtube.acl"
