Hi.
Guys I have small experience with squid, now need to learn how to use
squidguard.
My doubts are:
1) U have squidrunning with your ACL, groups, users and rules, once u
setup squidguard what is order?
squid - rules them squidguard - rules or
squidguard rules them squid - rules?
Squidguard is a separate programs.
* Squid ACLs determine whether a transaction is processed, and how that
processing is performed.
* Squidguard ACLs determine whether or not Squidguard tells Squid to
alter the URL mid-transaction. Nothing more.
All ACLs in both are run. Squid main http_access, adaptation systems and
url_rewrite_access ACLs are run before squidguard. The
url_rewrite_access ACLs determine whether squidguard is used *at all*.
squidguard is contacted and does its thing. Then the remainder of the
Squid ones are run depending on whether they need to on the new URL.
2) Squidguard is a URL redirector, them squid ACL stuff will continue working?
Yes.
3) Squid ACL tool can be replace with squidguard or they are totally different?
Totally different. Although some people use URL-rewriting and
redirection to act like a proxy denial service - what actually happens
there is a *successful* response with content message saying "failure".
It is worth avoiding the confusion and complexity whenever possible.
