RE: [squid-users] How to prevent anwanted bypassing squid by network users trhough browser set-up

Hello Manuel

I had the same problem.
Do you have firewall?
Before any of your user can make it to the www, they have to get a
public IP from something via NAT or what ever method. This device
(firewall, router etc) can be told to deny all traffic from the trust
interface that is coming from your users.

I all your internal IP are in the same ranges!
Set a permit rule for your servers that get updates on their own ( virus
def, patches etc) before your users.

With this setup, only users browsing through the proxy will be able to
browse, because any savvy user that changes the browser config will be
blocked at your perimeter device.
 

Example router config for cisco router

Permit ip 10.9.1.0 0.0.0.255 any -- servers
Deny ip 10.9.2.0 0.0.0.255 any -- users. Blocks all traffic from
10.9.2.0 range
Or deny tcp 10.9.2.0 0.0.0.255 any eq 80 (www) users-- will block only
port 80
Permit ip any any

Hope this helps!~

if u have router you can implement wccp on it
to forward your port 80 request to squid proxies
then yr rules will be applied .

no need to put proxy in their browser.
