squid and controling port access

[hacidayi]

Hi there,
I am new to this. Can i control the access to the all ports using squid?
In squid.conf file there is a Safe_ports description. Can i make something similar like that?

acl my_ip_list src 192.168.1.0/24
acl my_port_list port 80 443 1863 ...

and allow my list for the ports listed in my_port_list

http_access allow my_ip_list my_port_list

As much as i understand from the squid.conf it's possible is it?

Thx

No. Squid is an HTTP proxy. You're looking for a firewall.

Luckily, we happen to have the best in the business. It's called iptables. And it has a man page.

Thanks for your reply. I am using iptables but, i am confused when i read the squid.conf file. There is a port list named Pafe_ports. It made me thought like that.
Thx.
