The rule that I added was the http_access deny all AdultBlackListWebsites. Here is an update. And yes, this is a temporary fix, as I can tell from Chris Robertson's reply, and through working this issue, that I need to make some changes in my conf file. I moved my "http_access allow all WcomNet" rule to the top, and now the accounting department is able to authorize payments. So I have a lot of work on my hands to reorganize and tighten up this conf file. As for your questions Chris, all I can say right now, is that I am still on a learning curve, and I thank you for all your suggestions, and trust me...over the next couple of days, I will be wrapped up in this. http_access allow manager our_networks #http_access allow all open_for_ip_address http_access allow all WcomNet http_access allow WhiteListWebsites AuthLimitedUsers http_access allow WhiteListIPAddresses AuthLimitedUsers http_access allow all OpenAccessWhiteListWebsites http_access allow all OpenAccessWhiteListIpAddresses http_access deny all AdultBlackListWebsites http_access allow all Freemarkets http_access allow all MyTextron http_access allow all Corrlink http_access allow all SchwabPlan #http_access allow all WcomNet http_access allow all LindWaldock http_access allow all AuthPowerUsers http_access allow all AuthIPAddresses #http_access allow all OpenAccessWhiteListWebsites #http_access allow all OpenAccessWhiteListIpAddresses http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access deny to_localhost http_access deny !our_networks http_access allow BrownListWebsites OverRideBrownListUsers http_access deny all BrownListWebsites http_access deny all BlackListWebsites http_access deny all BlackListIpAddresses http_access deny all BlackListIpAddress1 http_access allow all AuthSafeAccessUsers #http_access allow WhiteListWebsites AuthLimitedUsers #http_access allow WhiteListIPAddresses AuthLimitedUsers http_access deny all -----Original Message----- From: Mark Elsen [mailto:mark.elsen@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 3:17 PM To: Casey King Cc: Squid Mailing List Subject: Re: Cannot authorize payment > I have a piece of software called POS-systems for credit card > authorization.
