OK Matus, now I understandbut let me ask one more question:

In explicit mode, is it possible that a given person with Squid
advanced knowledge can see the plain text of the traffic? Because if
this person is the admin of the proxy server, I think it may be a way
to read the plain content of the connection user-remote server.

Thanks a lot again !!!


Unless you are using ssl-bump/peek and splice (which will be show up a 
warning in the browser if squid's CA in not installed in its list of 
authorities) the traffic is tunneled through squid still encrypted. You 
can't see anything but the domain part of the URL.


If you are bumping, and have installed CAs into browsers, just, of 
course it's possible for a proxy admin to see the plaintext.

explicit mode is where the client explicitly connect to the proxy and asks
it to CONNECT to the server. There's no need to intercept the connection
because the connection is done to the proxy.

[squid-users] I can't understand the SSL connectios interception concept in explicit mode

[Roberto Carna]

Dear, I can't understand an important concept:

I know that in transparent proxy mode, I have to intercept HTTPS
traffic in order to proxy and filter it.

But I read in the pfSense's Squid help that in explicit mode there is
no need to intercept the HTTPS traffic in order to proxy and filter
itwhy is this possible? I think the explicit Squid proxy has to
intercept traffic in order to porxy and eventually filter it

Please can you explain me this concept?
