How to block website access using squid
-
I would like to block black listed URLs and Domains using the squid proxy server. In the tutorials, what is mostly shown how to block one URL/Domain, however I would like to have the URLs/Domains in a file and have one acl on the config file so that when it comes to updating the list, I just change the file instead of the config file how can i go about this

Answer:
In addition to what otheres have suggested, Squid can be http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/cache_peer/ to talk to other proxy servers either as parents or peers. You can use a filtering proxy alongside squid to block the sites that you want to block. You can search for examples of squid+privoxy or squid+dansguardian.

As the list grows the performance drops off quite significantly in my experience. If you're beyond a few dozen entries I'd suggest you look at http://www.squidguard.org/ as an alternative way of blocking entries on that list.
