Hi I am a beginner squid user running Squid 2.7 on Windows NT
I am trying to have certain domains go directly to the server on a
specific time range and days..
could someone help me with the squid.conf?
domain: Youtube site and cache
time range to be direct connect to the net: 8am to 5pm
time range to go through parent proxy: 5:01pm-7:59am
setup: proxy pc has own internet connection with limited bandwidth
uses parent proxy for most of the domains except those which are not
allowed during work hours (8am-5pm) e.g youtube, google video, vimeo
what I want to do is that those sites that are blocked on the parent
proxy go through the machine's internet connection during work hours
,
and then the rest of the day they go through the parent proxy
thanks!
Define a time ACL for the work hours. ACL can be multiple lines like
so:
acl workHours time MTWHF 9:00-11:59
acl workHours time MTWHF 13:00-4:59
A dstdomain ACL for the sites like so:
acl mediaSites dstdomain ...
then add cache_peer_access rules to DENY access to the parent proxy
outside those hours:
cache_peer_access ... deny !workHours mediaSites
always_direct allow !workHours mediaSites
The tricky part is getting it in the right order in relation to all
your other rules. Putting it above the other cache_peer_access rules
should be fine.
Note that time only matches *new* requests, so a video started seconds
outside workHours times will continue to run until it stops.
