not really, you get to define exactly where you allow the browser to go. if you allow google.com and they click on the local google "cached" copy link, it will be permitted because you allowed "*.google.com" - not the actual link itself (say www.cnn.com)
quite a few ways to restrict using the pac file, via IP and domain name. The possibilities are vast with inclusion/exclusion parameters. here's my simple one, which basically bypass my proxy for all local browser traffic, otherwise it gets pushed through the proxy. function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { if (shExpMatch(url,"192.168.*/*")) {return "DIRECT";} if (shExpMatch(url, "192.168.*:*/*")) {return "DIRECT";} return "PROXY 192.168.1.250:9876; DIRECT"; } -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mark.dodge Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2008 2:55 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] White list or black list?
