[squid-users] Squid Crashing

[Eliezer Croitoru]

Hey Admin,

I have been working on SquidBlocker for quite some time and have just 
released (about two weeks ago) the latest 1.0.0 as an RPM at:
http://ngtech.co.il/repo/centos/7/x86_64/squidblocker-1.0.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm

I have not tried yet but using alien will result some kind of "OK" deb 
file. If you need some kind of tar or binaries for other 
platforms(everything that Golang compiler supports) I will gladly 
compile them for you.

I have upgraded SquidBlocker with a UI and embedded the ICAP service.
You can see some of the details at: 
http://new.ngtech.co.il/squidblocker_en.html

The above page\site is a beta and is far from completion but has the 
basics in it. I didn't described the UI interface since it's very 
simplistic and was built with one thing in mind "functionality". Anyone 
that can read this mailing list should be able to figure out his way in 
it using a browser.

I am using it here and it works great for me but may not fit for others.
Since your issue is squid long startup time I would recommend you to try 
it. One of the nice things in version 1.0.0 is that I added to the DB 
url testing interface(can be accessed using the UI or even curl) result 
the "HITTING" db key which makes it easy to debug black or white listing 
false positives of domains and urls list.

Let me know if you need anything privately or publicly.
