Thanks for your advice. though that's the page i followed to add destinations to allow. they're already set in the config and a rule to allow to CONNECT to port 443 and 1863 already exists.
Some users are able to sign in, others cannot. and no "deny" hit is showing in access.log so i can troubleshoot. PS: i tried using AMSN today, i was able to sign in though the contact list couldn't be loaded. even though i can see in access.log a CONNECt to contacts.live.com:443 as well as another server which hosts my contact list ---------------------------------------- > Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2011 08:22:08 +0700 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [squid-users] Squid not allowing WLM (windows live messenger) to > go through. any tip ? > > The page i write on my email before is for an old WLM.
