Well.. Squid probably reads the rule, but the rule maybe does not mean what you intend. What you can tell Squid is only what Squid should do with requests Squid has received. If you do not want the request to reach Squid then this must be addressed somewhere before the request is sent to Squid, for example in your router if doing interception caching to not intercept traffic for certain destinations. > My question is: is the rule "always_direct" usable in a > transparent proxy configuration? Not quite. This directive only applies to cache misses and indicates to Squid that it may not use any cache_peer when fetching the requested object. If you do not have any cache_peer then always_direct have no meaning. Maybe you are loking for no_cache, but see above first.
