[K12OSN] Is SquidGuard Working?

[Mark Sarria]

Thanks for the info, I can confirm that Squid is working on my server
because it is blocking everything, when I ran tail -n 40
/var/log/squid/access.log I saw my ip address being blocked from the sights.

This is the error I am getting on the browser screen

The following error was encountered: 

Access Denied.

Look for clues by using these:
      tail -n 40 /var/log/squid/access.log
      tail -n 40 /var/log/squidGuard/squidGuard.log
      ps aux | grep squid

Right now, you aren't passing any traffic - you know that part.

Also, I think that the squid.conf file is superceded by 
squid-squidGuard.conf, isn't that right?

Also, I'd try using the default set up using port 3128 just to be sure 
that it is working in the basic configuration.

To test, try going to a blocked site. I always try
      http://www.wno.org
to see if it gets blocked. If squidGuard is running, that site will be 
blocked.
