Hi,
If I were to run a squid server at a co-lo centre, which isn't connected
to our office via a vpn or anything else, is there some way we can get
the usernames of the users included in the logs so that we can still
create reports based on who is going where? Ideally I'd like some kind
of client software (this is for windows users) which would run on their
local machines and forward requests to the squid box. This would mean we
can get their usernames as well as allowing us to handle the Terminal
Services users correctly who all use the same server.

The authentication in Squid does not care about underlying network as
long as the connections can be made.
* configure browsers as normal to use your squid at its remote IP.
* configure squid with authentication required for access
* setup the auth mechanism in squid with access to something locally
that can do it securely for a known fixed external IP.
Since part of the network between is out of your control you may wish to
use digest hashing of passwords instead of basic.
