Dansguardian access

spangler · 01-02-2009, 11:18 AM

I am running Squid and Dansquardian with each other. I have 3 sites that 2 users need access to and the rest of the company does not. We are configured with DHCP. My question is: is there a way to give those 2 users access to the sites without giving anyone else access?

Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

you may find VLAN's are your answer just allocate the IP addresses that you want to be in the VLAN

I assume that your software will support this .. I know nothing about Squid or Danguardian

We have vlan's already setup. I know you can configure Dansguardian by allowing spacific ips to websites, but since we are running DHCP I don't think this is a good solution, because there IP could change.

Hi,

Fishin has the right idea. You mentioned that you have DHCP, but once your connection comes from the outside it goes to a modem then a router and then possibly a switch. So, why can't you just take the LAN IPs and allocate them to the VLANs? Unless you don't have a router but that wouldn't make any sense. Take a look at it that way and see if it makes sense.

Cheers!

you can have as many VLAN's as you think necessary to do the job that is required.

If you are worried about using DHCP you could always issue a static IP address for those PC's that you'd want to be associated with particular VLAN's and there's [probably a way to ensure that those IP's aren't given to anyone else by mistake

Thank you for all your help. I will look into the vlan idea and also the static ip address. In our environment that might be the best choice. Thank you for you help on this and I will post when I have the results.

Please do .. it'd be nice to see whether we hit the nail on the head or need to open the text books again .. whichever way I am sure that we will be only too eager to help

Sorry for the delay in my response. I have been tasked with many other things, and a temporary work around for this issue. The vlan idea did not work. I am still looking for a way to allow users to access certain sites that the rest of the company can not. The access is setup through squid.
