Re: [squid-users] Bypassing squid proxy

Thanks for your reply.

You mean to say restricting the bandwidth only for certain PCs? Tomorrow
users may install proxy in different system and they may connect to that PC
for accessing the net. How you will monitor whether the system is having
proxy software or not? Unless there is a problem users will not allow MIS
people check their system.
