      Sure, you can post again all tabs of SquidGuard.

      But you want to realize the same as I am doing and I posted all necessary options in my screenshots. Perhaps you are missing one little checkbox ;-)

      Further, after changing anything in SquidGuard, are you applying "Save" and after this "Apply" on the first tab of SquidGuard ? This is neccessary for a working proxy filter!

        Okay. Here are the updated screenshots. I hope you can help.

        Filter is working perfectly on limited workstations but it isn't allowing all access to admin workstations.

                  Hi,

                  proxy3.png:

                  uncheck "Do not allow IP addresses bypass"
                  defaulf access: allow and NOT deny.
                  This page is for the admin workstations, like you call it ;)
                  All that you deny on this page is a restriction for you admin workstation.

                  proxy4.png:
                  Is ok, but here you can check:
                  "Do not allow IP addresses bypass" BUT ONLY if you dot not have any IP addresses in proxy5.png

                  Head up - you got it :-)

                    Dang..

                    I have done all of these things and it still isn't working how I want. It is still blocking all access to limited workstations. Every other computer (admin) it is blocking access except the whitelist.

                    I don't understand what could possibly be going wrong at this point.  :-[

                      Can you show me again your changed "Common ACL" tab.
                      And, do you click ALWAYS "Save" and "apply" on "General settings" tab ?

                          Hmmmm, I can not see any difference to my filter config. Not sure why it is not working.

                          Please try to save and apply settings in squid guard again and then check "Filter GUI" in squid guard. Perhaps there is some info because it isn't working. please also try to check system logs after reconfiguring squidguard.

                          perhaps you can focus the maintainer of SquidGuard "dvserge" to this thread. I am at the end of my know how.
