1) block web access for the people sending requests to the squid
interception catching port. Send them to a page indicating they require
the proxy settings and how to set back to the correct values.

2) implement WPAD to let people use 'auto-detect' in their browser
instead of explicit settings. Will reduce the chances of people seeing
the proxy issued and thinking to remove. Also reduces maintenance
hassles when proxy changes.

3) configure regular user auth alongside the external helper checking ages.
