      Thanks! But in my case i have some exemptions. All users are blocked from accessing fb except me. So im creating a rule to allow it to my IP. And if someone would like to access fb, i will just create a rule to allow the user's IP.

        2nd: Create Aliases, put all CIDR of facebook (i named it fbips as description) and create ports 80/4443 (i named it fbports as description)

        if you do this and have a webserver are you going to prevent it to access the net?
        is the port 80 / 443 instead of 80 / 4443
        want to try this and see if it interferes

        don't fix it, if ain't broken !!!

          I have no concern with webserver so i didn't bother to try this.
          I just want to block facebook and give exemptions to those who want to access facebook,

            Masters,

            What if you have multiwan and failover, will it conflict with squid?
            I would like to block also other sites and facebook but might encounter unwanted conflict with my multiwan and failover.
            advise please, thanks!

              Same rule in MultiWan. Use the firewall rule and select the WAN or whichever is your WAN1 and WAN2.
