Hello Bob, Create a file say "IMsites.txt" containing the following domain names : messenger.yahoo.com msg.yahoo.com scd.yahoo.com sc5.yahoo.com webcam.yahoo.com filetransfer.yahoo.com
Then insert the following line of directives into your squid.conf ------------------------------------------- acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl allowedip src <youripaddress/netmask> acl IMsites dstdom_regex "PATH/TO/yahoosites.txt" http_access allow allowedip IMsites http_access deny all IMsites ------------------------------------------- these lines should be given before the "http_access deny all" NOTE: This is only for Yahoo IM. if you want for other IMs you have to add those domains in the "IMsites.txt" file Regards -Zen ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 4:35 PM Subject: [squid-users] Tweaking squid for IM traffic > Hi, > I use Squid to proxy instant messenger traffic (Trillan), and limit access > to one IP that I use.
