It sure is easier to debug problems in person than over email ;-)

On mine, the blocked URLs are stored in seperate log files. URLs blocked
by the "hacking" rules are logged to /var/log/squidGuard/hacking, URLs
blocked by the "gambling" rules are logged to /var/log/squidGuard/gambling,
etc, etc.

If that's not the case for you, here's the edits you need to make to
your squidGuard.conf. In each category, specify the log file. In my
configuration, for example, the "hacking" definition includes "log hacking":


	dest hacking {
	        log             hacking
	        domainlist      hacking/domains
	        urllist         hacking/urls
	...


That's all there is to it ;-)
