</span>There are no ACLs on the above line. So it cannot match anything. The<br>
implicit default applies instead. Implicit default after any "allow"<br>
line is "deny all".<br>
<br>
Also, you did not configure any allow/deny previously. So why add it now?<br>

</span>No traffic is allowed to go to the helper. So no SG processes necessary.<br>
Squid is correct.<br>

<br>
</span>ufdbguard is much better than the outdated and no longer maintained<br>
SquidGuard (but is not packaged on Debian).<br>
