Hello, guys! I'm defining traffic quota for users in a network. We have approximately 80 hosts in it and the idea is that each host is allowed 1GB of download per day. From the moment each host reaches that quota, they are only able to access external hosts that are part of a *.gov domain. I was able o achieve that effect by using ACL and delay pools in Squid and have been able to monitor each host's traffic amount with squidclient in the terminal.
However, (1) didn't find a web interface for graphically visualizing that data, such as ntopng, for instance; (2) had to set cron to reset Squid everyday at 0:00 so the daily traffic amount register for each user is reset, as I didn't find any other automated way; (3) the opposite of #2, when it is needed to intentionally reset Squid during work-hours and, consequently, the register for each host's traffic amount in the day is lost and I would like that it was restored, and; (4) when a host reaches their quota and tries to access www.youtube.com, for example, the page keeps "loading", even though the connection isn't being allowed any traffic, and I'd like that some "You have already reached your daily traffic quota for today." page is loaded instead. Has anybody ever have this experience and is able to help me with a better or more adequate solution? I have a feeling that Squid isn't the most propper way to do this. Thanks a lot.
