[squid-users] RE: EXTERNAL: Re: [squid-users] Help configuring acl our_network rule

Just curious, is there any performance impact to doing it that way vs. a couple of CIDR specifications to cover the range?

I wasn't aware an ACL would handle such syntax, and used multiple rules.

acl our_networks src 78.134.1.1-78.134.130.255

It's best to stick some form of authentication on it as well.

Regular ISP networks are under constant scan from other users and
infections seeking ways to transmit themselves. If you open any port
with ISP-wide access permissions it's likely to be only a matter of
minutes before someone or something other than you is using it.
