I need to restrict access to yahoo.com and all its subdomains in elinks. I must use squid but I don't know how to configure it. Can anybody help me because I am new to Linux.

What have you tried so far? What isn't working? Are there any error messages? – Chris Down Dec 20 '12 at 11:56
A very similar question on AskUbuntu: "Why do I get “Host not found” when using a restricted Squid proxy in Elinks?". Are you cross-posting? – gertvdijk Dec 20 '12 at 11:59
squid.conf: acl blocked_yahoo dstdomain .yahoo.com http_access deny blocked_yahoo – Alex Dec 20 '12 at 12:00

You can use 

acl my_network src 192.168.0.0/16       # RFC1918 possible internal network
acl block_yahoo dstdomain .yahoo.com
http_access deny my_network block_yahoo
http_access allow my_network
http_access deny all

after adding above lines in '/etc/squid/squid.conf' just run below command to reload squid configuration

squid -k reconfigure

refer this link for more info
