RE: [squid-users] HTTPort & Messenger

If you want to block messenger on squid, you can easily construct an acl
which is based on mime types i guess its application/msn-messenger mime
type.. but you see it on your access.log which is at the end of each log.
IRC on the other hand can only be blocked via iptables thus dropping packets
which connects to port ( i guess you have to look for it on the mirc program
when it connects)

I still don't get you. You cannot block the use of the messenger.
However it may be possible to block the Microsoft servers that are
resonsible for logging on. I don't know which these are.

mirc: I was not aware that mirc can use a http tunnel. The same applies
to mirc. However preventing the users from installing the software
should be easier.
