Hi,

For that you have to compile squid source with ARP modules enabled

#./configure --enable-arp-acl

and run make and make install

After sucessful compilation and installation

Edit squid.conf

add a acess control list as below


acl TESTACL arp xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the MAC address of any client computer which should in the same network.

This setup wont work for clients across router on different networks.

Then, put this line

http_access deny TESTACL

Save the file and start the Squid . That's it , the machine with the specified MAC address will be blocked web access.
