Greetings squid-users! I'm Trying to get a basic squid / squidguard config running on debian linux (sarge). Squid version is 2.5.STABLE9, squidguard is 1.2.0 with Berkeley DB 4.1.25. I've spent a few days trying to find a basic how-to for squid with squidGuard but no luck. I've tried several adjustments to the /etc/squid.conf and /etc/squidGuard.conf files, but all I get is either everything denied or everything allowed. All I want to do is have squid block sites listed in squidGuard. This is running on a dual-interface firewall using IPTables to route all outbound port 80 connections to squid on 3128. My /etc/squid/squid.conf file (blank lines and comments omitted): hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? no_cache deny QUERY hosts_file /etc/hosts redirect_program /usr/bin/squidGuard -c /etc/squid/squidGuard.conf refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 563 # https, snews acl SSL_ports port 873 # rsync acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 563 # https, snews acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl Safe_ports port 631 # cups acl Safe_ports port 873 # rsync acl Safe_ports port 901 # SWAT acl purge method PURGE acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager http_access allow purge localhost http_access deny purge http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports acl local src 192.168.1.0/24 http_access allow local http_access allow localhost http_access deny all http_reply_access allow all icp_access allow all coredump_dir /var/spool/squid http_port 192.168.1.1:3128 httpd_accel_host virtual httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_with_proxy on httpd_accel_uses_host_header on cache_effective_user squid cache_effective_group squid My /etc/squid/squidGuard.conf: dbhome /var/lib/squidguard/db logdir /var/log/squid time workhours { weekly mtwhf 08:00 - 16:30 date *-*-01 08:00 - 16:30 } dest good { } dest local { } dest ads { log ads domainlist ads/domains urllist ads/urls } dest aggressive { log aggressive domainlist aggressive/domains urllist aggressive/urls } dest audio-video { log audio-video domainlist audio-video/domains urllist audio-video/urls } dest drugs { log drugs domainlist drugs/domains urllist drugs/urls } dest gambling { log gambling domainlist gambling/domains urllist gambling/urls } dest hacking { log hacking domainlist hacking/domains urllist hacking/urls } dest mail { log mail domainlist mail/domains } dest porn { log porn domainlist porn/domains urllist porn/urls } dest proxy { log proxy domainlist proxy/domains urllist proxy/urls } dest violence { log violence domainlist violence/domains urllist violence/urls } dest warez { log warez domainlist warez/domains urllist warez/urls } acl { default { pass !ads !aggressive !audio-video !drugs !gambling !hacking !mail !porn !proxy !violence !warez local } } I feel like I'm close to a solution. All insight or references to other sources appreciated. Cheers, --Scott!
