It seems that everytime I tried to start it with this acl enabled: . . acl pron url_regex "/etc/squid/nosex" . . http_access deny pron the squid always failed to start and generate the errors above. If I comment the acl then the squid works perfectly. I tried creating a new file and copying some of the websites on that file(nosex) to the new one and squid works fine, if I copy all of them then the error comes back. Any ideas? Also, how good are those filters like DansGuardian and SquidGuard? Because I have a huge porn problem there that needs urgent attention and since I cant get the whole blacklist I have I need another solution. Thanks (all the way from Honduras,Central America baby), Mario
