Re: [squid-users] Stoping messaging through Squid

Yes you can block msn chat through squid, but you also
need a firewall like ipchains or iptables. You need to
block the following sites through squid using acl

acl MSNGW url_regex -i
^http://gateway.messenger.hotmail.com
acl MSNGW1 dstdomain gateway.messenger.hotmail.com
acl MSNGW2 url_regex -i
^http://login.gateway.hotmail.com
acl MSNGW3 dstdomain login.gateway.hotmail.comacl
MSNC1 dst 64.4.13.171
acl MSNC2 dst 64.4.13.172
acl MSNC3 dst 64.4.13.173
acl MSNC4 dst 64.4.13.174
acl MSNC5 dst 64.4.13.175
acl MSNC6 dst 64.4.13.176
acl MSNC7 dst 64.4.13.177
acl MSNC8 dst 64.4.13.178
acl MSNC9 dst 64.4.13.179
acl MSNC10 dst 64.4.13.180

then use http_access to deny these acls.

You also need to block port 1863 using firewall.

make sure that users can't by pass your proxy.
