you can use a firewall or you can put squid in transparent mode, and set up a transparent proxy.

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.
