squid configuration [solved]

I'm trying to set up a non-transparent proxy for a terminal server. I can point the terminal server users to a specific proxy and lock it down so it can't be changed.

The thing is, I can't figure out if squid will even do this. There's lots of docs for a transparent proxy, which I don't need. The terminal server needs to lock down access to only a handful of internal websites.

I can't tell if squid will do this. I don't need any acceleration or caching, either. The tools in windows are horrible for this sort of thing.

Does anyone know of a place to get information on this specific aspect?

Hi,

this is quite easy to do with squids acls!

If you don't want any special authentication and so on for the proxy, then its really straight forward... install squid, define an acl for the allowed sites and youre done! :wink:

With some auth-mechanism, you can even have some "admins" with different acls! :wink:

this is an example, which you could add to the default squid.conf:
