restricting internet access with squid...

mia_tech · 01-02-2008, 01:08 AM

after installing squid, I want to restrict internet access to a computer, but after creating the acl rule on my squid.conf file the computer is still able to access the internet, yes the computer is using the squid proxy for internet access...here's how a portion of my squid.conf file looks

acl my_networks src 10.200.50.0/24
acl restricted src 10.200.50.52

http_access allow my_networks
http_access allow localhost
http_access deny restricted

any help appreciated

squid acl's are read from the top. move the deny higher up.

Thanks acid....now does anybody know how to change the default "Access Denied" page that user gets once denied access?

yeah, check the deny_info option in squid.conf
