Simplest ACL first. Same functionality. http_access allow trust porn http_access allow trust ftp http_access allow trust download or maybe you want to simly allow everything for the trusted user: http_access allow trust > ##### Allowed Download sites ######### > http_access deny !download-allowed download lan > http_access deny !download-allowed download ras Ok from what I can tell. > ######Semi-Trusted####### > http_access allow porn semi_trust > ##### Semi-Trust DENY #### > http_access deny ftp semi_trust > http_access deny download semi_trust Are you sure it is not the above rules which blocks your downloads? > ######RAS Deny ######### > http_access deny porn ras > http_access deny ftp ras > http_access deny download ras Or these? > ##### LAN DENY ####### > http_access deny porn lan > http_access deny ftp lan > http_access deny download lan Or these? > ####### RAS Allow ######## > http_access allow ras > ######LAN Allow########### > http_access allow lan Ok. I would suggest you simplify your rules a bit. The above ruleset is inconsistent and have the download rules duplicated in several places. Regards Henrik
