Squid on Fedora Need to bypass some clients through squid
Hello All members.
Good day
I have a question regarding Squid. I have configured squid proxy server on Fedora to restrict Internet Access on some staff computers. to do so I placed some ACLs in squid.conf and stopped iptables to stop clients to bypass proxy. It worked fine for the scenario but now I need to exempt some clients from the proxy server means to allow them direct access to the router.
Please help.
Please note that iptables service is stopped right now on my squid. If I start it every user is allowed to bypass squid rules.
Huh, it's supposed to work the other way around. You use iptables forward port 80 traffic to squid.
So I really don't get your setup. How do you block users to go out to the net with iptables stopped? And they can bypass squid when iptables is running?
I am using proxy on client computers. by going through that proxy the users are forced to use squid server as gateway for web.
ACLs are implemented in squid.conf file and the users are restricted by these ACLs.
IPtables service is not running only squid is forwarding/blocking all clients access.

You may need to setup squid as a transparent proxy, using iptables to forward requests for port80 and thus you can allow the specific IP to bypass squid and go directly out to the net
