Re: [squid-users] Time based Video Streaming Access

Thank you very much for detailed information with examples. I have setup ACL as given below: # ---------Start Here ------------------------ acl OpenIPs src "/etc/squid3/AlwaysOpenIPs.txt" acl TimedTubed src "/etc/squid3/TimeBasedIPs.txt" acl NoTubeTime time SMTWHFA 09:00-14:59 acl deny_rep_mime_flashvideo rep_mime_type video/x-flv http_reply_access allow OpenIPs http_reply_access allow TimedTubed NoTubeTime http_reply_access deny deny_rep_mime_flashvideo http_reply_access allow all # ---------End Here ------------------------ Now "TimedTubed" (Time based youtube/video streaming access) can access all other web sites BUT after the restricted time (09:00-14:59) @ 15:00, they can not access the you tube website. I want to allow the "TimedTubed" IPs to access you tube only from 15:00 till 08:59. Thank you very much for your time and kind help.
