search in squid.cong the line "acl CONNECT method CONNECT" after it insert the acl that you would like to block for exemple i would like to block facebook so :

acl FACEBOOK url_regex -i *.facebook.com*

the url_regex will help to block any url that contain facebook.com now search the line

"# INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM YOUR CLIENTS" in squid config insert after it http_access deny <the_name_you_gave_to_your_act> in our exemple

http_access deny FACEBOOK

Instead of Using all this Just go to the terminal press (window-button+T) then type

sudo gedit /etc/hosts

then select your ip address and write the name of the site you want to block

127.0.0.1    localhost blockme.example.com

this will route all requests to that domain to your IP address instead

You have to do some changes in squid.conf and here are the steps:

  • open this file /etc/squid3/squid.conf

  • add these lines:

    acl bad_url dstdomain "/etc/squid3/bad-sites.acl"
http_access deny bad_url

  • then go to /etc/squid3/bad-sites.acl and add domains with this format 

    .google.com
.msn.com
.app.facebook.com
