Answer 1

You have to do some changes in squid.conf and here are the steps:

• open this file /etc/squid3/squid.conf

• add these lines:

  acl bad_url dstdomain "/etc/squid3/bad-sites.acl" http_access deny bad_url 

• then go to /etc/squid3/bad-sites.acl and add domains with this format

  .google.com .msn.com .app.facebook.com

You can also do by following changes in squid.conf

acl toblock dstdomain .facebook.com .google.com http_access deny toblock
