Hi,
I configured squid in oracle enterprise linux 5.I want to block skype access.

i configured the following to block skype.but it is not blocking.
acl skype_blocking urlpath_regex [0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+
http_access deny skype_blocking
Kindly give me the solution


Thanks,

Again, we will "kindly" ask you to try to look things up first. A brief Google search turns up the solution, with examples.

Your regex is wrong.

hi,


I don't want to block IP based,I want to block username based,because I configured authentication.please give me some ideas.

Is it possible or not

thank you

Is it possible for you to read the Squid documentation, the links posted to you, or do a Google search?

In your first post, you said you wanted to block Skype access. If you read the link I posted (which you could have found, if you tried to look it up), you would have seen how to do it.

If you paid close attention when you were reading the link, you would see a part in the written example
..which tells you how to allow SOME users (that would be members of the "skype_users" group), to use it. Define the Squid ACL based on whatever you want...IP, authentication, user name, whatever. You don't provide any details about that, and essentially changed your question after posting your original.
