        Yes, you can.

        If you want to know how, can I suggest you try reading the existing threads.  If you're having trouble finding them there's a wonderful feature called the search button, or look here.

            Funny, I used the search function and I found seven pages of posts about SquidGuard.  More than one contained relevant information, like this.

            If that doesn't help you need to actually describe the problem, phrases like "it's failed" or "it doesn't work" provide no information.

              i searched but not found it  ???
              okay juz to make it clear..
              from the picture above u can see that i've set rules to deny porn,gambling,drugs,proxy,etc..

              example:
              1. i type www.youporn.com <–- it contain "porn" in the URL so the squidguard must blocked it..
              but i can access it..

              2. i type www.proxy4free.com <--- it contain "proxy" in the URL but still not blocked..

              and so does the gambling,drugs,etc

              maybe i'm wrong setting the squid..
              since i'm following the video tutorial on squidguard and i'm sure 100% that the configuration is right..

              or maybe the problem is..
              i don't know the function of squid..
              i read the document it is written that squid for cache..
              is there any correlation between squid and squidguard???
              why must install squid before installing squidguard..

              do we need configuration on squid to activate squidguard?

              i'm dumb.. but i have a desire to learn

                Can I suggest that you actually read about SquidGuard (they have their own web site).  It doesn't work the way you think it does.

                Squid: Proxy server
                SquidGuard: Add-in for Squid to control what sites people can access.

                By installing the SquidGuard package it's automatically enabled in Squid.

                    SquidGuard uses lists of domain or host names to block.  Selecting the "porn" list does not block sites with the word "porn" in it's name but sites in the list called "porn".

                    Since you obviously failed to find it, try this document on the very basics of how SquidGuard works.

                        Have you configured your browser to use the proxy?

                          do i need configure my browser to use the proxy?
                          my boss gave me this project to prevent staff from accessing porn stuff..
                          if ur suggestion to configure browser to use proxy and i must go to the everyone computer in my company and set the browser?
                          i think it's not efficient.. is there any other way to solve this case?
                          or i juz block based on IP address in rules?

                                    You can browse or you users ?
                                    I found this in you config

                                    src test2 {
                                    ip 122.200.14.67
                                    }
                                    ...
                                    acl {
                                    # 
                                    test2 {
                                    pass !in-addr !blk_BL_porn !blk_BL_warez [u][b]all[/b][/u]
                                    redirect ...
                                    rewrite test62
                                    }
                                    

                                    From ip 122.200.14.67 - you allow browse. All any - no

                                          i wanna test the squidguard is working.. so i deny all as the default..
                                          if my default is deny then it must be block anything right..
                                          but i still can browse..
                                          or i should reinstall sg and squid and installed it again?
                                          hey if you don't mind can u PM me ur printscreen squid+squidguard
                                          i'd like to see it..
                                          i'm affraid that i misconfigure about the squid..

                                            • disable transparent mode in squid, disable squidGuard
                                            • set you brouser Proxy options as squid configured (ip/port)
                                            • test http browsing = must work
                                            • enable SG, remove all ACL's, Default page set [all Deny], disable safesearch, Apply
                                            • test HTTP browsing - must be nothing.
