Ok so I've managed to setup both squid3 and dansguardian the way i wanted to but i seem to be having a problem with the authentication, i want to be able to allow a few computers to pass through the proxy without having to sign in and be authenticated.

i've looked around and found a way to do this which is

Example*
acl ip src 192.168.1.2/32
http_access allow ip

which i thought would work as a test i used 127.0.0.1 as a test to see if everything was in order and everything went well it passed through both dansguardian and squid with no pop-up box asking for a username and password, but after i changed it the above that ceased and now the pop-up box comes up no matter what i change can anybody help this is my first time being on a linux server so i'm not to sure what could be wrong.

Is there anyone who can help, i just can't seem to get it to work ....

Well, personally I can't, never having used dansguardian, but I have, on occasion looked up some information on it, out of general interest. I'll post my couple of links here, in the hope that it might help.

The first is probably more relevant than the second, but, if none of the above help, maybe the bump will attract attention to your thread.

Well to be honest i think i've found the problem but now i'm not sure what to do with it, i thought i'd made an error in the config but it seems dansguardian isn't passing the clients ip to squid so now i'm kind of stuck because i dont want to use the squid port or any redirects is this acheivable if any one knows away around this then please help !!

squid source ./configure --enable-follow-x-forwarded-for
