RE: [squid-users] forcing users to acces

Yes,

        Use a firewall on your gateway. It adds all kinds of security to your
network. Just set it up to deny access to a range of IP addresses, like
the ones that those "enterprising" users are allotted to.

        I did that here and the constant IRC chatting (FOR DAY TRADING NO LESS!)
stopped. It increased productivity a hundredfold in the office.

Subject: [squid-users] forcing users to access Squid ...

Greetings ...

My squid proxy server is working great now (thanks to the help I received
from this list) ... but I do have one more question:

Is there any way to ensure that the proxy is not being bypassed? In other
words, the proxy has an IP of 192.168.100.100, which logs the traffic
and
directs it to the gateway (192.168.100.41) ... is there any possible way
to
keep an enterprising user from discovering the gateway address and
accessing
it directly, bypassing squid?

Thanks for any suggestions.
