Hi,
MAC address filtering will only work on the same LAN segment. The mac
address for your IP will be the gateway of the squid server if you are
connecting remotely.
Cheers,
Pieter

Hello everyone, I have a question (and it may be a stupid one), but here goes.
I use squid on my server for privacy reasons when I surf the web. I currently
use IP addresses as my access restriction; only my home IP has access to my
squid server. I was thinking of transitioning to MAC addresses for ACL
purposes, so that I can use my proxy when I'm on the bus or at work. Are MAC
addresses any less secure as an ACL restriction than IP addresses?
Thank you for your time!
