Re: Problem with the blocking not working...

John (et al),

I have increased the redirectors to 60 from 40 and that seems to have stopped bypassing of the filter for now and I also have not seen links returning the wrong address as of yet as well but they do admit it is a problem. I was actually using that problem as an indicator of the filter bypass problem

Also, I was looking at modifying the dansguardian "bad boy timeout" (dansguardian.org/downloads/borman/dansguardian.pl) to work with smartfilter's logs. Has anyone out in squid land done this? I was planning to search the logs for IP address if users that get blocked with the reason code of 149 (porn) or 132 (nudity) or 162 (sexual materials) or 113 (extreme). If they got blocked more than X (maybe 5) times in 30 min. their IP address/32 would be added to the not_allow list used by squid and then the program would issue a "squid -k reconfigure" to update it to squid. I have already edited the ERR_ACCESS_DENIED file to notify the user why they don't have access and what to do (or not to do :-).

Because I am not "a programmer" (I just smell link one) I wanted to see if this has been done or something else like it.

That is an issue in DA 4.0, Securecomputing admits it's a problem. I see it
quite frequently.  No fix yet.  If you pay support, email them at
support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, maybe it will get them moving.

I've seen what you described and also getting just a Blank page with the address of the proxy/filter for controlcenter.

Only 4.0 allows you to do delegated authority, they have a newer version 4.1,
but it doesn't give you this capablity.

Becareful with stable3 if your running redhat. I think an update of an rpm corrupted my squid. Had to upgrade to stable 10, it doesn't run as an rpm so
it gets a little weird on the install.

Let me know if we can share anything we have learned.

Are you also having problems with links returning the wrong address?  I
click on one link and get blocked and the link is not the one I selected. I
re-select the link and it will then go through.
