> Has anyone experienced this? SG has numerous problems which caused it not to do what it's supposed to, including that "emergency" mode thing. Here are some things to consider: 1) a BIG blacklist is overhyped - when I had a good look at our requirements, there was only a small percentage of those websites we actually wanted to block, the rest were either squatting websites or non-existent, or not relevant. Squid could blacklist (eg ACL DENY) those websites natively with a minimum of fuss. 2) SG has not been updated for 4 or 5 years, if that's your latest version, you are still out of date. More to the point, you will not find much help now. or anyone to fix it even if you could prove it's a bug. 3) It has some quirks in how it handles hosts/domains in the blacklist, which may not be how you think it is. I didn't bother spending any more time on it.
