Hello again, We are using squid (transparent mode) on our pfsence box and are limiting the amount of bandwidth from Youtube and related sites with a limiter and alias which describes external networks we want to limit. This works very well. It wasn't long before management started requesting exclusions from this limiter.
I made up a new alias of internal IPs to exclude. This didn't work and I think I understand why.. the source of the packets will appear to be that of the proxy server and not youtube if placed on the inside interface, or have a destination of the proxy server (from the outside's interfaces perspective). This is because packets inbound are considered, not outbound. I like using the alias method as i have a text document on a share which i edit to add or remove exclusions, the alias is using the "URL db" option for its list of IPs. Its very quick to add/remove hosts. Are you aware of a method we could do this by use of limiters or will we need to look at Squid to handle this? thanks again, greg
