Hi all!
I have Squid deployed in a multiple site, reverse proxy setup. Since my
bandwidth is not unlimited I would like to enforce restrictions on the
users.
(I used to do this in Apache, but now that Squid is in front of it, those
don't work too well anymore...)
Well. One of the purposes for using Squid is that is speeds up client
service. I'd suggest getting somewhere with higher bandwidth and placing
a Squid there.
How can I specify that, for example, there is a 500MB of traffic/month/IP
address limit?
(I don't want to limit the speed of their connections, just the total amount
of traffic per IP...)
Any ideas?
The closest you can come to that is class 5 delay pool with the
external_acl_helper sending a unique tag back per IP.

It's highly inefficient and could potentially suck out all the boxes
memory by itself though.
