get Squidguard to block entire countries web sites? Possible?

Pcghost · 09-02-2004, 04:39 PM

Lately I have discovered that virtually nothing worth a crap is being hosted in several key countries. I would like to configure SquidGuard to block all sites with specific suffixes (like .ru for example). Adding wildcards to the database doesn't seem to work. I tried things like *.*.ru and so forth, but it has no effect. Does anyone know of a way to block an entire suffix using SquidGuard or another Squid redirector?

Very interesting post. I can sure use any replies as well.

We use squid and dansguardian at work, so this may not be exactly what your looking for, but I thought someone may find it useful. For global domain blocks like this, a couple of lines in the http_access section of squid.conf does the job for us.

Code:

# define an acl named blockedurls
acl blockedurls dstdomain .ru .foo.bar .foo.net
http_access deny blockedurls

HTH

Mad.

Thanks madluther. I will give that a shot when I get to work tomorrow and post my results.
