Greetings. I want to deny access to certain downloads (in str-med.txt) during "WorkHrs" This is failing miserably as this is not achieved. Please look through my files (squid.conf and str-med.txt) below for pointers to rectify this. Thanks in advance ### Start squid.conf ### acl office-net src 10.10.2.0/24 acl SSL_ports port 443 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl CONNECT method CONNECT acl WorkHrs time MTWHF 08:29-12:59 acl WorkHrs time MTWHFA 14:00-16:59 ## Wrong Files and URLS acl malice dstdomain -i "/etc/squid/malware.acl" acl porn dstdomain -i "/etc/squid/xxx.acl" acl ads dstdomain -i "/etc/squid/ads.acl" acl proxies dstdomain -i "/etc/squid/proxies.acl" acl nostr urlpath_regex -i "/etc/squid/str-med.txt" http_access deny nostr WorkHrs http_reply_access deny nostr WorkHrs http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny ads http_access deny porn http_access deny malice http_access deny proxies http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localhost manager http_access deny manager http_access allow office-net all # Allow localhost always proxy functionality http_access allow localhost # And finally deny all other access to this proxy http_access deny all error_directory /usr/share/squid/errors/en icp_access allow office-net icp_access deny all htcp_access allow office-net htcp_access deny all http_port 10.10.2.10:3128 intercept http_port 127.0.0.1:3127 hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? cache_mem 400 MB cache_dir aufs /var/cache/squid 20000 16 256 coredump_dir /var/cache/squid access_log /var/log/squid/access.log squid minimum_object_size 512 bytes maximum_object_size_in_memory 10 MB refresh_pattern http://.*\.windowsupdate\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims refresh_pattern http://.*\.update\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims refresh_pattern http://download\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims refresh_pattern http://windowsupdate\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims refresh_pattern http://office\.microsoft\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims refresh_pattern http://.*\.office\.net/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims refresh_pattern http://.*\.windowsupdate\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims refresh_pattern http://.*\.youtube\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims refresh_pattern http://.*\.espnfc\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims refresh_pattern http://.*\.kaspersky\.com/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims refresh_pattern http://.*\.mozilla\.net/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims refresh_pattern http://.*\.mozilla\.org/ 0 80% 20160 reload-into-ims refresh_pattern -i \.(iso|deb|rpm|zip|tar|tgz|ram|rar|bin|ppt|doc)$ 10080 90% 43200 ignore-no-cache ignore-auth store-stale refresh_pattern -i \.(zip|gz|arj|lha|lzh)$ 10080 100% 43200 override-expire ignore-no-cache ignore-auth store-stale refresh_pattern -i \.(rar|tgz|tar|exe|bin)$ 10080 100% 43200 override-expire ignore-no-cache ignore-auth ignore-reload ignore-no-cache store-stale refresh_pattern -i \.(hqx|pdf|rtf|doc|swf)$ 10080 100% 43200 override-expire ignore-no-cache ignore-auth store-stale refresh_pattern -i \.(inc|cab|ad|txt|dll)$ 10080 100% 43200 override-expire ignore-no-cache ignore-auth store-stale logfile_rotate 7 debug_options rotate=1 quick_abort_min -1 KB maximum_object_size 4 GB acl youtube dstdomain .youtube.com cache allow youtube refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0 refresh_pattern . 0 0% 4320 dns_nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 visible_hostname TheOffice icp_port 3130 ### End squid.conf ### ### Start str-med.txt \.flv(\?.*)?$ \.(avi|mp4|mov|m4v|mkv|flv)(\?.*)?$ \.(mpg|mpeg|mp3|avi|mov|flv|wmv|mkv|rmvb)(\?.*)?$ \.exe(\?.*)$ \.(msi|cab|mar)(\?.*)$ \.torrent(\?.*)$ \.txt(\?.*)$ \.(afx|asf)(\?.*)?$ \.swf(\?.*)?$ ### End str-med.txt -- Namasenda I.
