Hello Im new to blocking with squid, right now im using a bad site list and that works fine, blocks urls as it should, but Im also experimenting with the bad regex style blacklist because I see a lot of porn is still getting through, but the badregex is blocking farmvilla zynga content as well as AOL email! I would like to know why "gay" and "porn" would cause aol and farmville to be blocked and any suggestions that might be helpful would be so very much appreciated, I have teenagers on the lan and need to protect them from this garbage the best of my ability. heres the contents of the bad regex blacklist im using, just a single line. .*porn*.* one entry. and this single entry causes all those sites/services and more to be blocked. What am I doing wrong?
