Ubuntu – Configure Squid Proxy Server to Use e2Guardian in Blocking Specific Sites

dansguardianPROXYslackwaresquidUbuntu

I have successfully installed and configured Squid Proxy Server. I have to block site like Facebook.com using e2guardian. Unfortunately, I could not find any reliable comprehensive documentation how to use it with Squid Proxy. If anyone could point me into the right direction, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you only need to block access to facebook without actually looking into contents then just use squid acl to do that. Something like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8943381/how-to-block-website-using-squid-server shall do the trick.

Configuring squid to use a different proxy server as its internet connection

See the Squid documentation for the cache_peer directive. For a proxy on parentcache.foo.com:8080, you could use something like:

cache_peer parentcache.foo.com parent 8080 0 no-query default login=user:password
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0 
never_direct allow all

Virtualbox and Squid

You cannot set it up as a transparent proxy server if it is not connected to the network "before" your host machine.

Well, there is one way. If you have a manageable firewall (other than a standard router) in front of your local network, then you could force all connections on certain ports to go through your virtual machine.

You can use it as a parallel one though.
