RE: [squid-users] Squid ACL's or SquidGuard

Hi Jerry

I don't know if anyone answered your question or not but I use squidGuard,
it's very easy to configure. all you'd have to do is create an allowed list
containing the URLs or domains you want to allow, and deny everything but
that one list. And, you can redirect to any website or custom error page you
wish.

Not sure about squid acl's.

Subject: [squid-users] Squid ACL's or SquidGuard

Hello all,

I'm new to the list and Squid. I tried searching and reading the
manuals of both Squid and SquidGuard but I'm a little confused as to
what would be best for what I'm trying to accomplish. Anyone have any
recommendations as to what the best setup would be for my situation?

We are implementing a lot of kiosk type machines for a trade show.
These machines will be locked down and restricted. The URL access will
be based on machine locations not users (i.e certain areas will have
different URL access requirements). All machines will have access to a
'master list' of URL's and deny access to anywhere else.

I'm pretty sure I can do what I need with Squid ACL's but I'm unsure of
the benefits of squidguard. Will squidgaurd better handle my needs or
will the ACL's handle just fine?

Any response or opinion is appreciated,

Thanks in advance,
