Also, you are running Squid in debug mode - are you leaving it running in your terminal's foreground while you test? > My squid.conf: (prototype) > cache_access_log none > auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth > http_access allow all [remainder of squid.conf snipped] > Since windows and also Firefox/Thunderbird do dnot support proxy > authentication (or am I wrong?) I have to allow access from all. You are wrong - IE, FireFox, Opera, and others support proxy authentication (provided they are configured to use a proxy). > Is that squid.conf so far doing what I want? If what you want is "anyone who can establish a TCP connection to my proxy can use it, without any access logging", then yes. > Improvements? You could utilize the authentication support you configured. See the Authentication FAQ for more information: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-23.html You will also want to use the cache_access_log and cache_log settings to specify basic log files for Squid, then run Squid normally by simply running "squid", rather than running it in the foreground.
