You will only be able to block port 80 and 443 access with squid acl. What you need to do is as following 1) Block all ports with iptables 2) selectively open ports 25, 80, 443, 110, 143, 465, 995, 993 (email and web access). Also open port 21 and 22 if you want ftp and ssh connections 3) Open any other port required. (Some apps still use fancy ports to do thinks) I have never tried blocking google talk but i think blocking jabber ports plus blocking chatenabled.google.com (with squid) should block the google chat. regards VK -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
