quick setup Squid

Is there a simple way to set up Squid? I've been reading the config manuals and my eyes are starting to bleed.

I don't need it to cache anything, all I need it to do is filter out specific web sites.

Thanks

A better way to block sites is squidGuard, i has a database of more than 500,000 porn domains and URLS, is not easy to setup if you are a begginer but is the best way to do what you want to do.

http://squidguard.org
also, you will need to redirect the http traffic to your squid box, if your squid box is the same as your gateway you can try:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -s <your network> -j REDIRECT --
to <your squid port>
