Which requires a firewall, and additionally requires NAT for the
interception.
Yes, a firewall is the only way to prevent clients doing what they like
when connecting externally. Regardless of the connection type.

Hi,
I have a very basic question. I don't even know what to search on for
this question. I have squid installed and running, but my browser can
freely get out to the internet without going through the proxy. I
know about specifying the proxy in the browser, but what prevents an
unconfigured browser from going straight out to the internet? Is a
firewall the only way to prevent this?
Thanks in advance.
