Internet usage policy

Internet usage policy

[Ayobami Oladejo]

Hello,

I am still a newbie in Linux. I have a challenge. Curently in my 
organisation, we want to run a policy not to allow some workstations to 
access the Internet until 6 p.m of each day. We currently use Squid on a 
RedHat Linux system.
How can I do this.

Thank you.

Ayo

 Dear Ayobami Oladejo,

			--------- SNIP -------

I am still a newbie in Linux. I have a challenge. Curently in my 
organisation, we want to run a policy not to allow some workstations to 
access the Internet until 6 p.m of each day. We currently use Squid on a 
RedHat Linux system.

for this i think that you should define a time based acl to allow users accordingly.
make a group of users and an acl_name also make an acl for time that you want to give access and use it.

hope this will help you.

squid supports time-based ACL's:

PS - squid has its own list:
