Keeping ahead of my kids to limit the social media sites (myspace, facebook, etc) sites has been quite a cat and mouse game.  Wasn't bad until my 13 year old realized the joy of proxy sites - have been able to deal with most - it takes her more than an hour now to find one that half-works...  But now she stumbled on the google wireless transcoder...

Endian Firewall Community release 2.2.rc2 (c) 2004-2008 is what I currently run.  I have blocked SSL to keep the proxy traffic "viewable" and do alot with keyword matching "banned phrase" is what she sees alot...  My latest challenge...

the google wireless transcoder -- there are a few variations of the url - I do not want to blacklist the google.com domain.  I searched this site and others and couldn't find a discussion on the topic.

I thought the firewall had the ability to rewrite URLs as they are requested.

I'm looking for advice on how to take any requested URL matching "google.com/gwt" and redirect the request to a specific domain (maybe back to www.google.com or to disney or something...)

Any advice?    Thanks!!

Squid ACL in squid.conf...

acl gwt1 url_regex ^http://www.google.com/gwt/n.
http_access deny gwt1

seems to be doing a good job.

thoughts?  better ways to do this?
