Re: [squid-users] Firewall config and authentication

You will be using the ipchains when you are going for the transparent
caching. It is not adviceable to use authentication, If squid is in
transparent mode.

Normally this is the configuration to use authentication

acl password proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow password
http_access deny all

You may use any of the authentication module which comes with squid. Can
find authenticate programs in $squid-src/auth_modules.

Run Squid in transparent mode. For that Use IPChains to redirect the network
packets to the Squid application. For more information Visit
