Re: [squid-users] Firewall config and authentication

I do not want to run squid in transparent mode. I want users to have to
login, but I want them to have to use the proxy. If the proxy is not
configured on the client machiens I dont want anything to work. Is this
even possible with one server doing firewall/dhcp/squid?
