SQUID: Howto Exclude some sites & Exntension from CACHING

Howto Exclude Few Sites from Caching

If you are using SQUID proxy server and you don’t want to cache few sites , use the following directives,

acl NO-CACHE-SITES dstdomain "/etc/squid/not-to-cache-sites.txt"
no_cache deny NO-CACHE-SITES

Now create the file which will contains our sites list which we don’t want to cache.

touch /etc/squid/not-to-cache-sites.txt

and add  your desired web sites name in /etc/squid/not-to-cache-sites.txt
For example
nano /etc/squid/not-to-cache-sites.txt
and add following or your entries


bankalhabib.com
aacable.wordpress.com
wordpress.com
nae.com.pk
jang.com.pk

Now we have to reload squid.conf so changes may apply by following command

squid -k rec
OR
squid -k reconfigure

Howto Exclude Specific Extension from Caching

Similarly if you don’t want to cache *.FLV files , use the following directives

hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ?
acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? \.flv
no_cache deny QUERY

Now we have to reload squid.conf so changes may apply by following command

squid -k rec
OR
squid -k reconfigure
