Build the image

git clone https://git.laurelcountycorrections.org/jpickard/squid-whitelist.git
cd squid-whitelist

Edit /etc/squid/squid.conf, changing the values for:

acl localnet src 192.168.56.0/24    # Change to your own network
dns_nameservers 192.168.56.11       # DNS servers (change if you want)

and /etc/squid/whitelist.txt, adding or removing domains as you wish. Any domains in this list will be reachable, any that are not will be denied.

Once the container is running, you can edit these documents in /etc/squid as needed. whitelist.txt will need the most adjusting.

Run the container

sudo docker build -t signaln9nesquidproxy .
docker volume create squid
docker run -dit \
    -p 3128:3128 \
    --name=squidproxy \
    --restart=always \
    -v squid:/etc/squid \
    signaln9nesquidproxy

Point your client machines to the container IP port 3128. Only approved domains in the whitelist.txt file should be accessible.

You can tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log to see what domains are being approved, denied, etc.
