[squid-users] Trying to block IM's

I'm trying to block IM's like MSN, Yahoo..etc...etc I've taken acl's from this list but it doesn't seem to be working. acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 563 acl Safe_ports

Re: [squid-users] Trying to block IM's

Nor will it. Those IM applications are designed to work around firewalls and blocking mechanisms. They'll even use port 80 to communicate, if they have to. If you really want to block IMs (it's debatable whether doing so is truly worth the effort), you need to use an Intrustion Detection
