      Hello,
      I'm new here and I do not have much experience with Squid - but all is working well so far.

      In our web configurator for the MIG, we currently have the following lines in the 'custom options' box:

      redirect_program /usr/local/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf;redirector_bypass on;redirect_children 3

      The guide stipulates… "You can put your own custom options here, separated by semi-colons (;). Important: All options entered here need to be squid.conf native, otherwise squid will NOT work."

      MY QUESTION is this:
      I need to EXCLUDE the IP of our CEO  - so that his traffic does NOT appear in the reports (squid web browsing report).

      Can I simply add "exclude_host 192.168.0.7" to the end of the above line ?

      IE: ….redirect_children 3; exclude_host 192.168.0.7

      Any advice is appreciated.
      Thank you kindly.
      Jamie.
