linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hey everyone, So I have been beating my head for the past week trying to get this DNS server up for a school that doesn't have the money to pay for a filtering service. I admit that I am a novice with Linux but I did the best I could of reading and learning about squid and squidguard to install and configure it. Now I feel confident with the installation of both squid and squidguard, I did not receive any errors with my installation, however my squid does not seem to be working. Firefox keeps telling me that my proxy server is refusing connections, so I feel like it's more of an is (Hardware)

I've configured squid with squid with squidguard and when using proxy in browser it works fine. But I want to enforce using proxy (probably in iptables) in all browsers. Now it can be disabled in the browser settings by user.

My setup is: one standalone pc with ubuntu running the squid and squidguard and on this very same device I want to somehow enforce using the proxy.

Before I posted this question, I read several set up guides online, the squid docs, c-icap docus, and also the ICAP RFC (3507).

squid blacklist solution 1 year 12 weeks ago

I've installed squid proxy server for a company and now they ask me to add blacklisting capabilities for squid.

The most obvious thing that comes to mind is just to find a huge blacklist file on the internet and hook it up to squid configuration as external file.

I also want to include ability to edit and add entries to a black list
