Welcome aboard! What does it say in your squidGuard.log file? squidGuard does a pretty good job of complaining about any problems that it has. You'll probably find your answer there.
> redirect 302:http://www.mrated.com/NerdInside.gif Is "NerdInside.gif" a transparent 1x1 gif file? That's what works best for blocking (potentially) multiple ads within a single page. (I've attached a 1x1.gif file.) For what it's worth, I prefer the redirect without the "302" for blocking full pages (sites/urls). A redirect without the 302 will show the redirect screen with the original address in the address bar, with the 302 it will show the address of the redirect. It makes more sense to me for the user to see: Address: http://www.playboy.com screen: Access to this site is blocked than Address: http://address.of.your.block.page screen: Access to this site is blocked. > # Created with the SquidGuard Configuration Webmin Module I pointed out a few issues with this module in a post to this group dated 12/15/2001, subject: squidGuard Module for Webmin. (I'll forward a copy to you via email.) Let us know what you find in the log file.

G'Day all. Like the subject says, Ad sites are not being blocked. I'm a linux newbie so please try and hold back on the flames. I've also had a read of the FAQ, but not the archives (only glanced them). I would like some possible suggestoins, what i should check to see if squidGuard is blocking / why it's not blocking. I'm really stuck for ideas :( Can someone please suggest some things i should check? Any EXACT syntax i could pass to the squidGuard command line to test blocking ??? The 'install' page on the S.G. website mentioned something about this, but i couldn't understand the syntax. Thank you in advance to any help regarding this serious matter.
