i did a try but it didnt work , i want if some one can give me an address or show me how to do that STEP by STEP from the beginning !!!

What distro are you using and what is your network setup?


Need more information to answer a general question like that.

You could get started by Googling for Squid HOWTOs and SquidGuard HOWTOs.

am using fedora core 3 and squid package installed within the fedora installation

...this isn't the answer that you want, but you can do it perfectly adequately by reading squid.conf, understanding it and setting the settings appropriately.

The trouble is that its a bit long.

i did that , but when i restart squid it doesnt work....
when i block site ex: http_access deny yahoo.com and rstart squid , nothing change i still can access it

thank you salasi

how to direct outgoing HTTP traffic via Squid ???

Your distro doesn't really make any difference in this case.

You should post your squid.conf file if you want us to have a look - use a command like:This way we won't get spammed with comments and spaces.

If you click the first link I posted, the first search result explains how to do this.

Your yahoo.com stuff looks fine to me. Are you positive that the clients are connecting through Squid? I suspect they might be getting routed instead.

yes they're connecting via a local area network and my server linux route them ,

Yes, but are the proxy settings in the browser on the client set to use Squid? Try tailing the squid.log file while at the same time making a request from one of the client machines. You should see something appear in the squid log file.

they are not , how to do that ?
thank you

In Mozilla Firefox you'd go to:

Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Settings > Manual proxy configuration

and for explorer
