Set up privoxy and DansGuardian. Followed THIS guide for the main setup, and THIS to see how whitelisting can be done.

In the bannedsitelist file I set a blanket block (using **). Then in the exceptionsitelist I added a few sites to test with, and put them like so, at the end of the file:

bbc.co.uk
google.com
*gov.uk

(last one I was going to test if wildcards work - not seen anything saying if they do or not).

But when I navigate to any of the sites (on the exception list or not) they're all blocked by the blanket block.

What've I done wrong?

  • Dansguardian is no longer maintained, and is probably no longer very reliable. You should probably be using e2guardian instead.

In the exceptionsitelist file, move the sites you're whitelisting upwards, under the first set of comments - above the time limiting options.

Here's a pastebin for an example.

  • It is a correct answer, but could you please edit it and copy-paste some of the OP's (Original Poster) question into it thus making your answer an excellent answer in just 2 minutes? Please drop me a note @Fabby after you've done so to revoke the negative reputation points.

    @Fabby Done! I hope that's good enough - I'm not able to give an example of location as I currently don't have an installation, or a means to install one.

  • Upvoted already, but the day you have an install, come back and improve it even further! :P ;-)

    @Fabby I'm waiting for some stuff to finish at work and I've got 30 minutes spare, so I'll quickly whip up a VM and make a pastebin :P
