Hi all, I’m sure this might be considered a newbie question to most of you. Is there a way that I could limit certain users who bypass a certain quota per day ? Let me explain. Lets say user A exceeded a previously set allowed quota of 100 MB per day. I want him to be moved from the default delay pool to a new limited delay pool. Is it possible?
Yes.
How can I do it ?
With an external ACL. See external_acl_type and delay_access for more info.
Another question, I have a huge blacklist that I’d like of squid to block. Around 10 000 url and domain.. Each time I add it to a test acl/rule it works perfectly. Only desired urls/domains are blocked. Though when I apply the rule to all users.. Everything gets an access denied error including urls/domains which do not exist in the specified ACL.. Is it a thing with squid that it cannot check a big file?
It can, but doing so is processor intensive. Separate as much as you can into a dstdomain acl and block on that first. As for why you are having problems, there must be a difference between your test acl/rule pair and your applies-to-users acl/rule pair.
Thanks for your help in advance.. Best, Roland
