Re: Force Users to use Proxy

How about putting the squid server outside the firewall, forcing the firewall to
pass ALL HTTP connections to the squid server, basically making it transparent
to the end user?

Hi Kevin,

The easiest way is to use a firewall, and simply prevent access to the
Internet (or wherever) to all machines except the proxy. This is how I do
it, and apart from a little bitching when you first set it up, it works
very nicely.
