1. Setup a content filtering proxy like SafeSquid

2. Allow only proxy to access port 80 & 443 through router. Block all other ports that are not required to be kept open. This will force users to compulsorily use the proxy.

3. Block following URLs on proxy -
talk.google.com
talkx.l.google.com

4. Also block Google Talk User Agent - User-Agent: Google Talk

Blocking the addresses rsean mentioned, using Squid, would go like:
Code:
acl gtalk dstdomain .talk.google.com
acl gtalk dstdomain .talkx.l.google.com
http_access deny gtalk

We can't help if we don't kow how they are getting through. Are they getting through Squid? Are they getting around it (getting SNATed, for example)? Have you checked the Squid logs to see if it is indeed blocking requests for the addresses posted by rsean?

Sitelink? Huh?

Quote:

Remove port 443 from your Safe_ports ACL. Comment-out the CONNECT ACL.

Just put a port 443 ACL and a destination domain ACL together:
Code:
acl https_sites dstdomain .example.com
acl https_sites dstdomain .example.net
acl https_sites dstdomain .example.org
acl https_port port 443
http_access https_sites https_port deny
In this example, connections to port 443 on those three sites would be banned.
