RE: [squid-users] blocking porn sites ?

Hi Hement

I run squid version 2.4.STABLE7 and squidGuard version 1.2.0 (Berkeley DB
3.3.11)

My squidGuard blocks porn sites in the url list. Here is my squidGuard.conf
file (a small part of it) I hope this can help you.

------------------ SNIP -----------------

# CONFIGURATION DIRECTORIES
dbhome /usr/share/squidGuard-1.2.0/blacklists # directory that contains the
url lists
logdir /var/log/squidGuard

# SOURCE ADDRESSES: (IP addresses of the users
# just an example of one
src lancomputers {
        iplist lancomputers/ips
}

# DESTINATION CLASSES:
# only the porn class shown here: where squidGuard should look for the
# porn URLs and domain names that are banned.
dest porn {
        domainlist porn/domains
        urllist porn/urls
        redirect http://www.google.ca
        log /var/log/squidGuard/badurls.log
        }

# ACLs (access control lists) - ip addresses defined above
        lancomputers {
                pass !porn all
                redirect http://www.google.ca # or page of your choice
        }

default {
        pass none
        redirect http://www.google.ca # or page of your choice
        }

-------------------- END ---------------------

Please try this in your squidGuard.conf file and let me know if it works.
This setup works for my company.

Regards

A

Subject: [squid-users] blocking porn sites ?

hi all

i am running Squid Cache: Version 2.4.STABLE1.

I've tried to implement a block to porn sites using the acls with the
following entries :

acl porn1 url_regex /usr/local/squid/etc/porn1
http_access deny porn1
http_access allow all

but it doesn't seem to work.....(no errors....i am just able to browse
to any site from the blocked url list)

can anyone assist?

rgds,
hement gopal
