HTTP Proxy - block everything except explicit list

Hello all.

I want to use the proxy to block access to *EVERYTHING* except an explicit list of sites that I provide. I haven't been able to find any way to do this in 3.x, but recently upgraded to 4.0 and found that you can now define custom Categories.

Looking for a way to create a Category (or something manual on the command line, don't care) that blocks EVERYTHING except a list of sites I provide.

Any ideas appreciated.

Create one profile for "Any" network. Do not create any other profiles.
In this profile add the stuff you want to allow to the whitelist and add the entry * to the blacklist. Since whitelist has priority, all of the entries in it will be visible while all other fall to the blacklist and get matched by * and so denied.
Turn on this profile and ... well let me know how it went.

Nope.  Doesn't work.

In fact, it makes my entire surf protection daemon die.  I posted another message about that thinking it was something wrong with 4.0, but it turns out to be the "*" character as far as I can tell.

Any other ideas?

So, pretty much any regex that I put into the blacklist box makes this whole thing die.

I really need a way to block EVERYTHING except what's in the whitelist. I'm even fine with having to edit the squid configuration...

Sorry, it's my fault (and yours when I get to think of it)
We both forgot that "*" is not a valid regexp!!!
You should write ".*" and keep the rest the same as the other message I posted.

Thank you in advance.
