I have installed elinks and squid and I need to restrict access to yahoo.com(including subdomains. for example, fr.yahoo.com). How do I permanently configure elinks(or squid) to forbid access to yahoo.com?

Using Squid

First create a file name acl.txt and put it under /home/ or /etc/ and put .yahoo.com inside it (.will include sub domains )

After that Put this configuration line under squid.conf

I assume you put acl.txt under /etc/squid/ 

acl denyThis dstdomain "/etc/squid/acl.txt" 
http_access deny denyThis 
http_access allow all 
acl our_networks src 192.168.1.0/24
http_access allow our_networks

By this lines we allow all requests from any ip that belong to network 192.168.1.0 with mask 255.255.255.0 except requests that have a destination domain contains is file /etc/squid/acl.txt.

Check Squid Configuration Basics For more knowledge :)

  • I tried to access yahoo.com from elinks and it worked. Do I have to somehow connect elinks with squid?

  • @johnny I don't think you can block elinks and Tor using squid.
