You have to do some changes in squid.conf and here are the steps:

  • open this file /etc/squid3/squid.conf

  • add these lines:

    acl bad_url dstdomain "/etc/squid3/bad-sites.acl"
http_access deny bad_url

  • then go to /etc/squid3/bad-sites.acl and add domains with this format 

    .google.com
.msn.com
.app.facebook.com
