I new to squidGuard so I'm learning. Right now in my newbie-ness, I figure by deleting and then adding my entries back I save myself the headache of trying to remember what entries I added in the past without having to use a TON of .diff versioned files. >I've been successful in blocking the ads on that site. I just looked and >I have these entries in /ads/urls.diff: > >-graphics4.nytimes.com/ads >-graphics4.nytimes.com/RealMedia/ads >-nytimes.com/RealMedia/ads K ... now you have me confused. How do your entries above work? According to the doco on the squidGuard site, a "-" means delete the entry from the database file. If you are deleting, how is squidGuard working? >Are you redirecting the ads section of your squidGuard.conf file to a >1x1.gif? Yes It working now with the following entries in my .diff file: -graphics4.nytimes.com/realmedia/ads +graphics4.nytimes.com/realmedia/ads -graphics4.nytimes.com/ads +graphics4.nytimes.com/ads -nytimes.com/ads +nytimes.com/ads -nytimes.com/realmedia/ads +nytimes.com/realmedia/ads But this still doesn't explain why the simple URL list of: +nytimes.com/realmedia/ads doesn't work. According to the documentation, it appears this should work just fine. - ........................................................ ......... ..- -. .. -..- .-. ..- .-.. . ... ............ .-- .. -. -... .-.. --- .-- ... -.. .-. --- --- .-.. ...
