Hi,

I'm setting up a squid box for work with squidGuard I have it working so far as it works off blacklists but for some reason it doesn't stop you putting in ip addresses my acl looks like this:

acl {

IPS within nonworkhours {
pass whitelist !in-addr !adult !porn !hacking !phishing !spyware !virusinfected !dialers }


else {
pass whitelist !in-addr !adult !ads !antispyware !artnudes !chat !dating !dialers !drugs !instantmessaging !kidstimewasting !onlinegames !phishing !ringtones !sexuality !spyware !virusinfected !weapons !webmail !porn !hacking !aggressive !violence !warez !mail !admin all

}

default {
pass !in-addr whitelist
}
}


as you can see !in-addr is the first thing it stops

any clues?

Have you already looked at SquidGuard logs?

Yes I've looked at the tail of the Squidguard and squid logs for times when I have been testing and I cannot see anything wrong at all.

I've fixed it. So in the interests of sharing I'm going to post the answer:
I was handling the redirects in the Dest portion of the config file when adding !in_addr I wasn't telling squidguard were to send the redirect so it just passed it through the correct thing to do is this:
acl {

IPS within nonworkhours {
pass whitelist !in-addr !adult !porn !hacking !phishing !spyware !virusinfected !dialers
redirect http://somesite/some.html
}


else {
pass whitelist !in-addr !adult !ads !antispyware !artnudes !chat !dating !dialers !drugs !instantmessaging !kidstimewasting !onlinegames !phishing !ringtones !sexuality !spyware !virusinfected !weapons !webmail !porn !hacking !aggressive !violence !warez !mail !admin all
redirect http://somesite/some.html
}

default {
pass !in-addr whitelist
redirect http://somesite/some.html
}
}

That tells squidguard to redirect to a given site.

a very happy
Rat
