controlling access through squid( blocking all sites except for one)


Hi,

I have two questions


1. I've a squid proxy server running. What I want is to block all sites except for one say yahoo.com. I tried this method.

acl <aclnamefordomain> src 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
acl yahoo dstdomain .yahoo.com
http_access allow <aclnamefordomain> yahoo

This setting allowed me to browse only yahoo site and nothing else. But the problem is I'm only able to see the home page of yahoo. When I give the username & pasword , then the follwing screens are not clear or shows errors. How can this be solved.

2. My system which accesses internet through the proxy server is not able to send or receive mails through outlook express. Outlook express shares the internet settings from internet explorer. Is there any other settings to be changed.

Thanking you in advance

Regards,

Jomy

1- i think u need to add some other sites to browse yahoo completely.
check squid access.log for details.
2- u cannot do that with squid. u need to do NAT. visit www.iptables-script.dk generate a script to do that. btw add the following line end of that script:
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT

good luck.
