Re: [squid-users] Preventing user by ip address

If your proxy server only runs squid then an easy way to deny access by IP
address is to place the lines

route add "ip address" lo

into /etc/rc.d/rc.local

This makes sure that a proxy abuser does not access squid at all.

Simple one liner instead of a two line acl or a more complex IP tables
firewall line.

For finer control we recommend IPTables or ACLs
