Squid : Block Youtube and Media Streams

Warning: Any example presented here is provided "as-is" with no support or guarantee of suitability

Media Streams come in many types. Most commonly used are Audio, Video, or Audio-Visual Streaming.

It's hard to separate the stream types by application so the config below includes all the known streams and simply comments the commonly known ones where possible.

## The videos come from several domains

acl youtube_domains dstdomain .youtube.com .googlevideo.com .ytimg.com

http_access deny youtube_domains

# Media Streams

## MediaPlayer MMS Protocol

acl media rep_mime_type mms

acl mediapr url_regex dvrplayer mediastream ^mms://

## (Squid does not yet handle the URI as a known proto type.)

## Active Stream Format (Windows Media Player)

acl media rep_mime_type x-ms-asf

acl mediapr urlpath_regex \.(afx|asf)(\?.*)?$

## Flash Video Format

acl media rep_mime_type video/flv video/x-flv

acl mediapr urlpath_regex \.flv(\?.*)?$

## Flash General Media Scripts (Animation)

acl media rep_mime_type application/x-shockwave-flash

acl mediapr urlpath_regex \.swf(\?.*)?$

## Others currently unknown

acl media rep_mime_type ms-hdr

acl media rep_mime_type x-fcs

http_access deny mediapr

http_reply_access deny media
