      acl aclmac arp 00:08:A1:95:71:D4
      OR
      create blockscripts folder in squid folder allow in squid.conf like this
      acl aclmac arp '/etc/squid/blockscripts/allowmac.txt
      http_access allow aclmac
      http_access deny aclmac
      http_access allow our_network
      #—- end of sample code———

      Have a happy arp / MAC restriction with ACL in squid.

      1. Hi
         Good Day!!!

         I have CentOS 6.6 server installed with Squid proxy 3.5.1 recompiled source RPM with –enable-arp \ & –enable-arp-acl \ options, which are required to enable mac address filtering acl.

         I want to allow internet access to only allowed mac addresses via squid. I have tried with below ACL in squid.conf but its not blocking other mac addresses.

         acl allow_mac arp 01:23:45:AB:E0:CC
         http_access allow allow_mac
         http_access deny !allow_mac <======This is to block other mac address

         Also let me know if this is possible with iptables.

         I need to block internet access to some users but they should able to access samba share on the server.

         Please help me to resolve this issue,

         Thanks in advance.

   3. Sir,
      you have to download source code for squid and recompile with –enable-arp-acl and use that binary for use with mac address.Many vendors like redhat including cebtos do not compile squid with that option enabled. Suse does compile with the said option. Hence you can use suse linux any version and configure squid in that machine if you have one.

      Chary

2. web site is block but i want to open web site ony one ip address 192.168.3.1
   what is acl rule in squid file in linux

3. you will have to recompile squid and make it before mac based filtering works.

   add –enable-arp-acl to your original configure command in squid and run the following

   % ./configure –enable-arp-acl …
   % make clean
   % make

   then the above acls in squid.conf will work.

17. Very useful and good material…thanks a lot

18. i want to block mac addresses using acl. I have done it this way:
    acl badmac arp (mac address)
    http_access deny badmac

    but i want to block multiple addresses. plz tell me the method how i can create a separate file of blocked mac addresses and create one acl for the same.

    1. you can copy paste your acl rule like this :
       acl badmac arp (mac address1)
       acl badmac arp (mac address2)
       acl badmac arp (mac address3)
       acl badmac arp (mac address4)
       so on…

       http_access deny badmac
