How to block a website on a squid? Please help!!!

This can be managed by useing the ACLs in the squid.conf file. Short description: Change to the folder of the squid.conf file. cd /etc/squid Create a new file named domains.exclude vi domains.exclude In this file, put all the sites, you want to block. E.g. If you'd like to block http://www.squid-cache.org/Intro, enter the following line to your domains.exclude http\:\/\/www\.squid\-cache\.org\/Intro Save the file and quite vi editor. Now you have to add 2 lines to your squid.conf file. Open squid.conf in your editor, e.g. vi. Add the following 2 lines: acl forbidden_urls url_regex -i "/etc/squid/domains.exclude" http_access deny forbidden_urls Save the squid.conf file. Now reload squid by rcsquid reload. Test whether it works, but it will work. In you browser go to the site: http://www.squid-cache.org Then click on About Squid. This should be denied.

Forgot to mention. In the domain.exclude file, you can add one URL per line.
