Thanks Yanier. However my requirement is different. Squid will need to count down the connected IPs duration. After it runs out, that IP is blocked for sometime before it is allowed again to connect. The ACL you suggested allows access during a specific period of time. The one I request for should allow access at any time / day of the week but for a specific duration before reconnecting. # Edmonds On Fri, Apr 4, 2014 at 1:00 AM, Yanier Salazar Sánchez <yanier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Acl nameacl time MTWHF beginhour-endhour > > > > Examples > > > > Acl work_days time MTW 08:00-16:00 > > > > http_access allow workdays who_access > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Edmonds Namasenda [mailto:namasenda@xxxxxxxxx] > > Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2014 9:08 AM > > To: squid-users > > Subject: Duration Access Limits > > > > Hello All, > > > > Is there a possibility for Squid to drop connections of particular IP > > Addresses after a specific period of time, and only enable those addresses > > after a specified period of time?
