      Hello,

      I am using Squid 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.3 with SquidGuard 1.4_4 pkg v1.9.5 on an VMware ESXi test environment. I am having trouble getting anything in the Access Control list to work.

      For starters, I had trouble getting the proxy to work at all when I was specifying my subnet in the Allowed Subnets section. I had to check the option to allow all subnets connected to the interface in the General tab to get the proxy to work (Allow users on interface option). Shouldn't I be able to leave that unchecked and simply specify my subnet in the Access Control "Allowed Subnet" list? I listed the subnet as a CIDR range (172.16.123.0/24). I also tried 172.16.0.0/16. This one isn't too important as allowing all subnets using the LAN interface is fine with me, however eventually I may want to change this. It gives me the impression that something isn't working / setup properly.

      Second (This is the one that I'm worried about): I can't get the Whitelist to work in the Access Control section. For example, on my SquidGuard Filter I denied the category "blk_BL_finance_insurance". I then navigated to esurance.com and my block page came up (Great, the filter is working!). Next, I decided to leave finance insurance blocked, but whitelist esurance.com. This will be a common task one of our help desk technicians will perform if I end up setting this up in a production environment. After adding esurance.com to the whitelist I navigated to esurance.com and the page was still blocked. Interestingly enough, the favicon came through. So the whitelist worked for the favicon, but not the rest of the site. I thought maybe esurance.com was redirecting to some other domain, so I tried with another site. I blocked the category webmail, then navigated to hotmail.com and the site was blocked (Great! filter works again!). Next, I whitelisted hotmail.com and tried again. Again, the favicon came through, but the site was blocked again. I cleared my browser cache to be sure and tried adding multiple variances of the domain name to the whitelist as well (e.g. http://domain.com, www.domain.com, *.domain.com, etc). The same result was produced each time.

      Has anybody else come across this? One thing I noticed is that each of these sites forward you to an HTTPS site. I also noticed that the filter is not blocking ANY HTTPS sites. This is something I will need to work as well, but I haven't even started looking into that as I wanted to make sure I got the whitelist / blacklist to work properly first. I turned up the logging, and these are some of the logs I get from the proxy when navigating to these sites:

        Anybody? I started playing around with Untangle and finally got it working. I like it, but the block page is proving harder than I thought to customize. They want you to pay for branding, and the blockpage is over-written with each update to Untangle. I also tried moving to Squid 3 and Squid 3 dev for HTTPS filtering, but I couldn't even get the services to start. I didn't play around with it too much because I wasn't liking the idea of using beta software in production anyway, and I took the services not starting as a sign that I should move on to a stable solution.
