[squid-users] acl allow???

[Roger Thomas]

Hi,

This is my first time posting to the mailing list, but I just wanted to know
whether anyone knew how to do the below:

I use the following to block a list of words from URL’s:

acl misc_block_list url_regex -i "/etc/squid/block/misc_block.list"
http_access deny misc_block_list

I am trying to allow certain words, so for example, the word sex is in the
block list, but I want the word sussex to be allowed.
I have created another file called misc_allow.list but I’m not sure how to
tell it to allow.  I presumed something like this:

acl misc_allow_list url_regex -i "/etc/squid/block/misc_allow.list"
http_access allow misc_allow_list

this doesn’t work though.  It says: 

If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it!

Thank you all in advance,

Regards,

Roger

Put the allow acl above the deny acl in your squid.conf so that it gets hit 
first.

This ACL allows ANYONE to use your proxy to get to URLs that match your 
misc_allow_list (unless they are blocked earlier).


Better would be combining the two acls in one http_access line...

http_access deny misc_block_list !misc_allow_list

... which reads block any request where the URL matches a regular 
expression found in /etc/squid/block/misc_block.list UNLESS it also 
matches a regular expression in /etc/squid/block/misc_allow.list. Just 
be mindful of how regex matching effects your proxy performance.
