      Hi all, having a bit of trouble here.

      Trying to ban iPlayer…

      If i put in the blacklist

      http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/

      It still gets through, i have tried everything. Regular expressions for the word iplayer, blocking http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/config/ and they all just seem to bypass Squid and get through.

      Any ideas?

      Thanks
      SR

        Hi SR,

        Someone may correct me but i believe squid only really blocks port 80. Anything else will pass.

        BBC iPlayer uses a p2p applicaion called Kontiki. And i believe Konitiki uses the following ports:

        80 (http)
        443 (https)
        1947
        1948
        4000
        5000
        8888
        Ports 80 and 4

        So you may need to do some more configuration.

          I just tested iplayer on my netowkr and its blocked.

          I use squidguard on top of squid and use this site for my blacklists

              Hi netwiz,

              iplayer is being blocked in the 'movies' group

              This site has been classed as non work related. If this is an error, please contact IT.: 403 Forbidden

              Reason:
              Client address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
              Client group: default
              Target group: blk_BL_movies
              URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/

              If you didn't want to block all movie sites, you could always make at target category of blacklist sites and then enforce your own :)

              I get my blacklists from http://www.shallalist.de/

              Cheers,

              grievsa93
