Yeah - however I use bitdefender on top of squid.

I use dhcp allocated from ubuntu, the gateway address that’s broadcast is my Ubuntu address. I'm writing this and thinking I've gone a bit Orwellian. Still I think I've covered the bases. I was toying with the idea of running Asterix off my laptop too, but I figured I'd start with this project. -Original Message- From: squid-users On Behalf Of Antony Stone Sent: 19 December 2018 16:17 To: squid-users@lists.squid-cache.org Subject: Re: [squid-users] Advice - Squid Proxy On Wednesday 19 December 2018 at 16:04:36, Squid users wrote: > Hi, > > Re network diagram - Mish Mash / blended / spaghetti I think :p > > Squid is installed on the Ubuntu virtual machine.

Re: [squid-users] Advice - Squid Proxy
Hi, Re network diagram - Mish Mash / blended / spaghetti I think :p Squid is installed on the Ubuntu virtual machine. Sorry forgot to draw that on. The phone connects to mobile internet when out of the house, then reverts back to going via squid proxy when my laptop wifi is turned on. The phone detects my laptop and connects accordingly. The phone reconfigures to go via proxy when it connects to my laptop. As for the TV - yeah my laptop needs to be in the house for that to work. Internet Use - I'm happy to record websites called by 'user' so for example: Tv=user1 Phone=user2 Laptop user=user3 Then each family member with their own user id /password. I've configured this bit already I have set my home internet router to only allocate my laptop mac a DHCP address I'll draw a better diagram later today. I may have gone a bit overboard with the control and monitoring :s Thanks -Original Message- From: squid-users On Behalf Of Antony Stone Sent: 19 December 2018 13:19 To: squid-users@lists.squid-cache.org Subject: Re: [squid-users] Advice - Squid Proxy On Wednesday 19 December 2018 at 13:22:57, Squid users wrote: > The attached configuration is currently in use on my computer.

[squid-users] Advice - Squid Proxy
The attached configuration is currently in use on my computer. My aim is to use my laptop while I'm out and about (libraries, work etc) and when I'm at home have my TV and Phone connect into the proxy server. This would allow caching by any device to my laptop so I'm minimising my connections outbound. I also want it to record use by other people so I can monitor my internet use at home. As you can see I run bitdefender parental control on my computer. Would it be possible for someone to manipulate the proxy server to bypass this? Could the proxy server be used to hide / obscure actual sites visited? Can anyone point out any flaws or issues.
