Your idea collapses into a simple case of: popup the auth login and accept anything that is entered. Squid bundles with fake authenticators for testing that does exactly that. For the older versions there is http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Authenticate/LoggingOnly You seem to be stuck in the idea that having a auth popup alone makes things secure. The entire purpose of an authentication is to control who gets access. Allowing random people to add themselves anonymously is not a good idea. Amos
