fairly new to squid proxy. Id like to test out blocking HTTPS sites, I've done a fair share of googling, but I don't understand a lot of the solution and the why aspect of it. Can someone help me understand? I'd like to just simply block https://www.facebook.com/ or something for testing purposes. I can easily block any http site or all of them, why is it so much different for HTTPS? I found Blocking HTTPS sites through Squid but the solution does not work for me.
Thanks in advance.
So it turns out the AMI I was using
Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type - ami-da05a4a0
the default squid it was installing could not block https for some reason, I have absolutely no idea why. I switched to using
Amazon Linux AMI 2017.09.1 (HVM), SSD Volume Type - ami-6057e21a
and everything now works...If anyone knows why this is the case please let me know.
