If you want an interface that is easier to use than editing squid's conf |
| 10 |
file, there are several front ends to choose from. You could start with |

squidguard |

blocking site access based on ip address gets you into very big amounts |
| 15 |
of trouble very quickly. Think virtual hosting here. |
