Help with acls in squid!
 

Hello everyone! I've been into Linux OS for last one year and I'm using RHEL 5.3 I've been able to configure squid, wherein i've blocked a single site. But now i want to use a file where I've added the list of sites which needs to be blocked. I have tried adding the following line under squid config file and restarted the service.
acl blocksites url_regex "/etc/squid/squid_block_urls"
and then
http_access deny blocksites

I configured my web browser to use squid but am still able to access all the blocked websites. Please help me out. Am i doing something wrong here. Its very urgent.

Hi !

This is a part of my working .conf file (so, I posted only the most important lines and marked with green the lines which you have to add).

The text files with URL's/words (regular expressions) are in /etc/sqid/lists/ , tne URL/word (regular expression) per line.

And this is a part of /etc/squid/lists/block_dstdomain.txt
And this is my /etc/squid/lists/block_dstdom_regex.txt
P.S.: if you'd like to differentiate access from different computers of your LAN, you have to create one more ACL, say
and create rules for it
Important!
You must place these rules above the denying rules:
Heve fun :-)

Thanks a lot. I'll try that asap.
