NP: the line above "deny_info ERR_EXTERNAL_IP not swan" should be configured as: deny_info ERR_EXTERNAL_IP swan Unless the ERR_EXTERNAL_IP is generating the redirect to include various of the Squid % error page codes it can be replaced further with: deny_info http://internal.server/errorpage.html swan Amos > > Simples! > > Cheers, > Jezz. > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: John Doe [mailto:jd...@yahoo.com] >> Sent: 13 February 2009 09:58 >> To: Palmer J.D.F. >> Subject: Re: [squid-users] Custom error page based on IP. >> >> >> From: Palmer J.D.F. <j.d.f.pal...@swansea.ac.uk> >> > Is it possible to have a custom error page that is displayed only >> when a >> > client machine tries to connect to our squid caches from outside our >> > subnet? >> > >> > We have a lot of users & visitors that use their machines on site, >> but >> > also off site on other networks; occasionally these users try to >> proxy >> > via our cache from off site networks outside our subnet; we have > acls >> in >> > place that prevent remote proxying, but as it is they just get an >> Access >> > Denied error. >> > If possible I'd like to replace this error with an explanation and >> > instructions on how to re-configure their browser. >> > >> > As far as I can tell the same Access Denied error > (ERR_ACCESS_DENIED) >> is >> > displayed for a multitude of reasons, hence not viable to just edit >> the >> > existing error; is it possible to have a different error just for >> this >> > scenario? >> >> Maybe you could use url rewrites to forward them to a specific web > page >> that would explain why they cannot use the proxy from outside... >> >> JD >> >> >> > >
