how do i get squid proxy server to block websites using webmin

i have been looking up ways to block websites in linux but most all of the free ones only block the sites the software makers want to (or you can't block just the sites you enter without blocking the sites that it wants to)

i need to know how to block only websites i enter with squid using webmin

Webmin is a Web based GUI to interact with Linux,

As I understand,I think for your purpose you may use some web based content filtering tools like SquidGuard, DansGuardian
