problems

[Al - Image Hosting Services <azick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I seem to have created a lot of problems for myself. We are using squid 
with custom written software to filter web content. Because the server is 
in one location and my users are in other locations and because of the 
large number of hours spent helping people setup their computers to use 
the proxy, I had software written to push everything on port 80, 443, and 
21 to the squid servers and to prevent people from changing the settings. 
This is where I ran into problems. Both https and ftp are filtered fine 
when configured in the browser, but don't work when just pushed to the 
proxy though the software. Since the software runs on the end users 
computers, it seems like I should be able to make ftp and https work. Does 
anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

Best Regards,
Al
