Title: squid configuration requirements for squidguard

Hi All,

I have successfully downloaded and installed both squid and SquidGuard, considering that I have been a windows user for long long time, I think that was quite an accomplishment...

Question:

I have the "redirect_program" in my squid.conf file but I am not sure , do I have to deny all access in squid.conf and squidGuard will take over ( it does'nt seem to work) or do I allow all traffic in my squid.conf and it is ignored because we are redirectining to squidGuard rather than using this rule...

SO basically what acl if any do i need in squid for squidGuard to work, deny all, allow all, or what...



Scenario:

I am afraid if the 2nd case is true and squid.conf is setup to allow all traffic before squidGuard can do its thing, then what if squidGuard stops for some reason, wouldn't the traffic default back to using the rule in squid.conf that allowed all traffic...


I hope I am making some sense, and someone can help...


thanks,
Ed
