What you said about authentication makes a lot of sense. So I disabled transparent mode, and required authentication and I get the exact same problem. (using Clarkconnect 5.0) Squid throughs an error, but does NOT give me a login dialog box as it would inside the LAN!!! A few more details about what I'm trying to do... 1. Using Dansguardian content filter on Clarkconnect 5.0 2. When I'm OUTSIDE the CC lan using proxy settings in the browser, I get the Dansguardian error page if I try to go to a banned site. 3. When I try to visit a site that is acceptable, I get the Squid error. 4. Then if I put in the ACL rule to allow my WAN IP, everything works. Any ideas? I'd really like to just use proxy settings without VPN involved. Thank you in advance.
