Allow Facebook Access Only In Specific Hours Of The Day With Squid


Answer :

Taken from my configfile:

# When is Facebook allowed? acl allowfacebooktime time MTWHF 12:15-13:45 # Facebook ACL acl facebookdotcom  dstdomain .facebook.com # Only allow Facebook as described by allowfacebooktime http_access allow facebookdotcom allowfacebooktime # Else block facebook http_access deny facebookdotcom 

Squid supports time-base ACLS

Something like this should work:

acl FACEBOOK dst www.facebook.com acl LUNCH time MTWHF 12:30-1:30  http_access allow FACEBOOK LUNCH http_access deny FACEBOOK 

The "FACEBOOK" acl is probably wrong, I'm just making this up as I go :). The above says to allow access to whatever matches the FACEBOOK acl, during the time period matched by the LUNCH acl. It then says to deny access to the FACEBOOK acl as a fall back. Rules are matched in order, so the lunchtime rule has priority.
