This sounds great, and would you mind specifying the source of the
blacklist data at the core of your services?
In other words, what I dare ask you is this, and im sure others might
want to know, are you using the blacklists from shalla, UT1, or
urlblacklist? Or have you developed your own domain management technology?

Hi,
We are excited to invite early users to test drive Charcoal
(http://charcoal.io) - a Squid URL Rewriter for distributed proxies.
Charcoal is designed to help administrators manage access rules for
the proxies at just one place with a GUI, instead of editing
configuration of individual proxy servers.
It has come out of our need of managing ACLs for 100+ proxy servers on
embedded devices (OpenWRT/LEDE) running at our customer offices across
the geography of India. We are releasing it in the hope that it will
be useful for Squid users who have to manage multiple proxy servers
everyday.
The architecture is API key driven client-server, where a squid
url-rewrite helper contacts server to query access controls for the
incoming requests.
Current features:
-----------------
- Supports Squid 2.x and 3.x
- 70+ pre-existing domains blacklist
- Custom destination groups/categories
- Custom source groups for IPs and Networks (usernames in the pipeline)
- As of now only domain filter support (no full url filtering)
- API key driven
Configuration:
--------------
- Download the helper from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Hopbox/charcoal-helper/master/squid/charcoal-helper.pl.
- Make sure IO::Socket module for Perl is installed.
- Add following lines to squid.conf after downloading the helper:
url_rewrite_program /path/to/charcoal-helper.pl YOUR_API_KEY
url_rewrite_children X startup=Y idle=Z concurrency=1
YOUR_API_KEY for our hosted Charcoal service can be requested by
filling in the form at http://charcoal.io or writing in to
charcoal@xxxxxxxxx. The credentials for login to
https://active.charcoal.io to manage the ACL will be emailed along
with YOUR_API_KEY.
