OR block internet access to that user completely.</div><div>4. this volume calculation should be done for both HTTP and HTTPS based session.</div><div>5. should be able to generate a monthly report showcasing the volume consumed by specific user during a specific time-frame by showing the spread of the volume distributed within websites visited/downloaded from.</div><div> </div><div><div>Kindly help to suggest this could be possible with Squid. </div><div>I am open to using some log analytics mechanism like sarg or anything similar for reporting.</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div><i>Regards,</i></div><i>T Anoop Sreedharan</i></div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><i>+91-9022078298</i></div>
