[SOLVED] squid blocklist help

klingoncowboy4 · 06-08-2011, 02:20 PM

Hi, I am trying to configure squid to use the blocklist found at http://www.thedumbterminal.co.uk/ser...kedsites.shtml

I have downloaded the "blocked_sites.txt" file and tryed to configure squid to use it. Unfortunetly I can only seem to get squid to pass all or deny all. I would like for squid to block everything in that file but pass everything else.

Here is the configuration I am trying to use to acheive this:

Code:

acl blockedsites dstdomain "c:\squid\etc\blocked_sites.txt"
http_access deny blockedsites
http_access allow all

Note: the reason that there are windows paths is that in this instance squid is running in Windows Xp, but the same principles should apply (just that paths will be different). I suspect that the problem comes from the line "http_access allow all", which I think is overriding my line to deny.

I managed to implement a better solution using squidguard

Hello.
What if you try to change these lines?

So, you'll have

Code:

acl blockedsites dstdomain "c:\squid\etc\blocked_sites.txt"
http_access allow all
http_access deny blockedsites

PS: I've just noticed that the thread is marked as being solved. It would be nice if you'll write how you've solved the problem.
