AFAIK - NO - it is waaaaaaaaay to simple to work like that. Squid is only a
cache. You could redirect an user to a login site with your firewall script,
after he logs in, you could redirect him to squid ( at least his http
traffic ). But again AFAIK there is no radius client module for squid. Nor
it is planned in a way you want it.

Hello,
I'm very new to free raduis and would like to know if it will run with
squid proxy server. If so how would this work? What I am looking to do
is to allow users to access the internet via the transparent squid
proxy for limited time sessions. Eg. a user who wishes to use the
system would be greeted by a web page asking for a code. The code
(which they would get from the system admin) would grant them access
for 1 hour. Can this be done using FreeRadius and Squid?

Actually, I have tested squid using a radius plugin before to talk to
freeradius. It worked for me then, but we never used it and it was also
years ago.

There are a few radius modules in there, you might want to give one shot.
The second one seems to still be active.
I don't know about a time limit however and I don't really know much about
squid to help.
This wifi entry talks about using authentication with squid, it might help
you.
