Sorry. Without knowing your config it's hard to help you.

If you should have a url_regex ACL where "ass" is one of the regular
expressions then I would like to say it's a bad idea. It's much too short
to help you. Plus many "bad domains" don't have any of those words in the
URL. Depending on how serious your need of blocking "bad content" you can
try SquidGuard or a commercial URL filter. And if you have a policy that
really really forces you to forbid evil content then use whitelists and
block everything else.

Kind regards
