Thanks for the reply Felix. I guess that must have helped. I did as you said but that seem to block all the sites. Which made me think that the order of the commands make a difference. Which is why, I followed the default squid.conf file and put the commands in some what the same order as it is on there. I also had to add in some other syntax's Well, I have a working squid now. It was just the order that was messing up everything. Here is the working config. I will try to setup SARG along with squid. Lets hope it goes well. squid.conf -------------- 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 our_network src 192.168.10.0/24 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 # SSL acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https 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 CONNECT method CONNECT acl custom_allowed_domains dstdomain "/etc/squid/allowed_domains.acl" acl custom_denied_domains dstdomain "/etc/squid/denied_domains.acl" acl ads_blacklist dstdom_regex "/etc/squid/blacklist/ads/domains" acl aggressive_blacklist dstdom_regex "/etc/squid/blacklist/aggressive/domains" acl audio-video_blacklist dstdom_regex "/etc/squid/blacklist/audio-video/domains" acl drugs_blacklist dstdom_regex "/etc/squid/blacklist/drugs/domains" acl gambling_blacklist dstdom_regex "/etc/squid/blacklist/gambling/domains" acl hacking_blacklist dstdom_regex "/etc/squid/blacklist/hacking/domains" acl mail_blacklist dstdom_regex "/etc/squid/blacklist/mail/domains" acl torrent_blacklist dstdom_regex "/etc/squid/blacklist/torrent/domains" http_access allow custom_allowed_domains http_access deny custom_denied_domains http_access deny ads_blacklist http_access deny gambling_blacklist http_access deny hacking_blacklist http_access deny mail_blacklist http_access deny torrent_blacklist http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localhost http_access allow our_network http_access deny all icp_access allow all http_port 3128 hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? cache_mem 256 MB cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 70000 32 512 cache_access_log /var/log/squid/access.log cache_log /var/log/squid/cache.log cache deny QUERY refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 acl apache rep_header Server ^Apache broken_vary_encoding allow apache coredump_dir /var/spool/squid maximum_object_size 32768 KB maximum_object_size_in_memory 128 KB cache_mgr abc@xxxxxxx Thanks Sheldon ------------------------------------------- On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 12:49 PM, Felix Lazaro Carbonell Carbonell <felix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Shelton, may be the tag > http_access allow our_network > should go after and not before (or may be you don't need it at all) > http_access denied custom_denied_domains dst "etc/squid/denied_domains.acl" > > > hope to be helpful. > i'm a beginner. > Regards, > Felix Lazaro Carbonell > > Site filtering issue > > > I am having issues with filtering of my websites.
