How can i block msn through squid
 

Hi

How can i block msn through squid. Is it possible. Msn use http proxy. I want that hotmail and others sites open properly but msn do not work. I use squid on windows 2000 server. Is it possible to block only msn on squid on windows plateform.

Plz help me

Bye

If you try to block the MSN port, then MSN will change to port 80.
You will probably not succeed with squid.
You will have to examine the actual packets, using a software like Snort to examine the content of packets.

I listened that It is possible with the help of acl. But i don't know how. If someone knows about it plz help me.


Thanx

You may be able to block requests to the login servers of MSN.

Thanx ugge

How can i block the requests .

This approach is only temporary as the number of login servers along with the number of different ports used are constantly changing.
