Outline

This example covers the blocking of YouTube.com videos. Which is actually very easy.

Caching them is much harder, for information on that see ConfigExamples/DynamicContent/YouTube

Squid Configuration File

Add this to squid.conf before the part where you allow people access to the Internet.

## The videos come from several domains
acl youtube_domains dstdomain .youtube.com .googlevideo.com .ytimg.com

http_access deny youtube_domains

Other sites than YouTube also host this kind of content. See the Flash Video section of ConfigExamples/Streams/Other for general flash media patterns withut neeing to block specific websites.
