[squid-users] Squid is blocking access to some BBC news sites

Hello everyone

I am using SQUID in a school with SQUIDGUARD. It has been brought to my
attention that various news articles at www.bbc.co.uk/news do not open
properly. This only occurs when going through the SQUID proxy. I have
disabled SQUIDGUARD to ensure this was not the problem, it is definitely a
SQUID issue.

When we search at www.bbc.co.uk/news (for example for 'genocide' - thats the
topic the children are working on), we recieve a list of results, we click
"All News Audio Video results >>" and get a more defined list of results
with media clips.

Clicking many of these links results in a greyish BBC page stating "We're
sorry. The content you requested is available for UK users only.". We are
in the UK to this page should appear.

Bypassing SQUID completely, resolves this issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
