It all depends on your OS/Platform, but in the end, it's a matter of running some firewall rules to redirect traffic (making a transparent proxy), or properly configure the IMs to use the proxy. You could however drop a proxy.pac file which could configure internet settings if your users are on Windows machines. > Hi Luis, I'm using Linux with transparent Squid proxy. So far, I use SquidGuard to filter content, but I did not see that SquidGuard has feature to be integrated with ClamAV. IM uses TCP ports, am I correct? I still have no idea how to redirect IM to Squid. Please advise. Thanks a lot.
