i have downloaded shallalist blacklist, i have to remove couple of urls from this list , if it is possible and where it is stored.. i can not find in /tmp folder

What are you asking? Are you trying to download the list and can't find where it's been downloaded to? Or are you asking where you use the list? You don't mention whether you're using pfBlocker or Squidguard either.

You're also posting to the wrong section (should be in Packages).

Have you had a look here?:

thanks..
is it possible to directly view and edit the shallalist blacklist ?

KOM

That's not how you do it. Use ACLs to decide which policies are applied to which users. Manually editing the list will result in all your changes being lost at the next update.

i appreciate your reply and completely agree what you have said..
just for the sake of knowledge, if it is possible to edit the list manually?

Technically, yes, but it's best to whitelist the domains you want to bypass rather than edit the list manually for the reason already given below:

It is completely possible but, personally, I don't recommend you to do that. Why? It is a time waste. When you rebuild the blacklist or update it, all your changes will be lost so… don't XD.

The easyest way to do that is creating a target category for your "whitelist" and using ACL (like KOM said) to allow it's access to everyone.

Good luck!

thanks for your reply

as i said above, just for the sake of my knowledge how can i edit the list if you can guide me ?

KOM

The blacklist is stored in /var/db/squidGuard

Good luck.
