Re: [squid-users] Skype and Delay Pools

Hi,

we don't block Skype via delay pools. For this we use the following:

acl skype-nodes url_regex -i ^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\:443
http_access deny skype-nodes

My questions is how to use Skype BUT with a Delay Pool that is not
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1.

David

Hi David,

Could you please share how you block skype via Squid using delay pools?
