If I switch off the use of proxy, ie connect directly to the same site I get a message probably from the browser that the site does not exist. So I deducted that if you switch off the use of the proxy you can apparently bypass all of it, even the redirection.
The idea is all http trafific should go to port 3128 (Dansguardian - content filtering) and then to squid(8080) for cache proxying. With the redirect I hoped that one should no be able to bypass it at all. > Again, please tell us exactly what problem you are trying to solve. > > >> 2.
