This option determines whether the networks with rights to access the services of Squid should automatically be taken from the base.txt, or whether the networks are configured manually by the following fields.
For large networks with multiple IP ranges and other routers, this automatic may be combined with the following options.
Number of networks that are allowed to access the services of Squid. Normally this value is '0 'because all networks configured directly on the flil4 are already detected by SQUID_AUTO_CONFIG.
Specify networks here that are allowed to access Squid. This information will be used only internally by Squid to control the user's web access through Squid. Access to Squid itself has to be allowed with additional packet filter rules if necessary (see PF_INPUT_x in base.txt or PF6_INPUT_x in ipv6.txt).
An example would be:
SQUID_ACCESS_NET_1='192.168.0.0/24'
All computers with IP addresses 192.168.0.XXX are allowed to use Squid.
