Limit the amount of time spending in personal stuff during work hours

Several people in her works hours are doing personal stuff such as reading gmail, yahoo mail, reading blogs, etc. In order to avoid these kind of behaviour you can do some acctions to remember them they are working and it's not good wasting work hours with not related things.

Help to accomplish this task:

session helper from squid-2.6.
deny_info redirecting to a web page with a reminder.

Recommended compile options

--prefix= if you want to install Squid in another location
than /usr/local/squid

--enable-storeio="ufs aufs null" on most platforms to allow choice of
more performing disk I/O.

--enable-auth to enable all authentication schemes to have them
available the day you want to use them.

--enable-delay-pools to enable the delay pools shaping capability.

--enable-snmp to enable monitoring & statistics collection using SNMP

--with-large-files if you are on a 32-bit platform to enable support
for large log files bigger than 2GB. Warning: Do not use this option on
64-bit platforms.

Golden Rule

Start with the first error, ignore the rest.

Some notes regarding NTLM

Squid 2.6Stable 3 now support the NTLM passthrough.

An alternative which is recommended and works for all proxies is to have the web site using https on authenticated content. https is tunneled via the proxy, not proxied, and therefore works fine even with non-HTTP-compliant authentication such as NTLM.
