Hi,
I hope anybody could be solving this problem concerning authentication and a transparent proxy. Perhaps anybody knows an other solution for this problem!? Use your firewall to allow/deny access to the proxy.
I have squid running as transparent proxy, cause I do not want that the user behind this proxy has to configure anything in his browser. Only authenticated users should get access to the proxy. The normal authentication works proberply, but not in the transparent mode. I know there are some restrictions with transparent proxies and authentication, but I do not really understand why.
Is there any solution for that problem? Perhaps I am going the wrong way?
You could use squid's acls to setup some kind of restrictions. Also, you can use something like squidGuard to allow/deny based on almost anything from time of day to destination url to keywords in urls to specific ips, etc.
thanks for your help!
