[squid-users] Problem with ISP blocking hundreds of sites

[Fathi]

I have my isp blocking hundreds if not thousnads of sites and
sending a copy of the internet explorer 404 not found page
instead of the original site or any other page saying that the
site was blocked.

Now, I want to know if using a cache peer located outside the
tunisian backbone as parent will allow me to access such sites ?

[Fathi]

configure squid in httpd_accelerator mode and it will give the
X_Forwarded_For header to your web server unless to set it up
to anonymize such a feature

Re: [squid-users] Users Authentication in squid

[Fathi]

You can't use authentication on a transparent proxy.

But if you need an example of authentication, I can give you
mine. I use ldap.
