Re: Kids control and time limit function

I know this ACL.
However managing the ACLs statically is not the same as dynamically.
Managing squid.conf or any squid.conf formatted file is kinds of an issue
when using a web ui.
It's much easier for me to handle a sqlite/mysql table for that.
If I set the times to static ie by the hour ie 0-1 and 1-2 and 2-3 coupled
with the day, it's pretty easy to handle.
And if the web ui is simple enough you can manage the times on the fly with
a margin of error by a minute.
It's kids not a business so it's enough for my use case.
I just need to allow them to surf or block them as needed and also in a
planned matter.
There is another factor which I have considered and it's a timer based
external_acl helper.
A helper that will check for the current state and then allow or deny based
on the timer and in time the scheduler will
send a command to the timer.
