RE: [squid-users] Firefox and Squid - How to force the browser to use proxy just like with IE?

We use a configuration script (proxy.pac), which IE and firefox clients
access via the "autoconfiguration script" setting in both browsers.

Our router is configured to deny access to the internet unless the
requests are coming from the proxy server.

Windows also has an internal proxy function called proxycfg. Take a look
at that as well.

Hmm.. in my limited experience, configure your router to force all 80
and 443 traffic to go to a proxy config url.

There may be better ways, but this is the only one I could come up with

Hi

We are using Squid, and in native mode, not transparent. All users are
forced to go through the Proxy via Windows Active Directory GPO. This is
good to set people who use IE to get through Proxy, but firefox users
are browsing happily without even hitting the Proxy server once.... :(

Is there a way that I can force all browsers to go through Proxy?

Thanks
