Check the squidGuard.log file. squidGuard logs both good and bad events to the log file, so an *empty* log file means something is wrong.
When squidGuard tests work and production doesn't it may be file ownership and permissions. Everything in your /usr/local/squidGuard and below should be owned by the same user and group as listed in your squid.conf file for <cache_effective_user> and <cache_effective_group>. > domainlist porn/domains.db > urllist porn/urls.db Drop the ".db". SquidGuard will automatically use the .db files if they are present and the plain text files if no ".db" files exist. > redirect 302:http://www.google.com Personal preference here, but I don't use the 302: on my redirects. With the 302: the browser address bar shows the address of the redirect page (in this case, http://www.google.com). Without the 302:, the browser address bar shows the original requested url while displaying the redirect page. I think it is less confusing, especially if you redirect to a "blocked" message. But as I said, it's a personal preference item. Hope that helps!
