Using Squid to Deny Media Streams

This article is originally taken from Media Streams on Squid wiki, I am just posting it here for quick reference.

Media Streams come in many types. Most commonly used are Audio, Video, or Audio-Visual Streaming.

It’s hard to separate the stream types by application so the config below includes all the known streams and simply comments the commonly known ones where possible.

Squid Configuration File

# Media Streams

## MediaPlayer MMS Protocol
acl media rep_mime_type mms
