In any case I tried what you suggested and the problem remains that my unauthenticated(non-internet)>users can get to the whitelisted sites just fine, but they still get authentication prompts for the linked content like facebook and youtube that the site>contains. An example of a site is http://www.triptrack.co.za/ and you will see what I mean. At the bottom right of the site there are links to facebook and>youtube. Those links cause a authentication request to the unauthenticated(or non-internet) users. I can't have these prompts appear for these users.

Nothing else. Again it works kind of. I can see that the proxy sends the request to the cache_peer, but it only sends the requested site there and again not any sites that are linked within it.(like facebook). > > Is there a way to send the entire "session" to the cache_peer if a particular domain was requested? > > There is maybe the Referer: header. Since the evercookie attacks it has becoming popular to erase or not send those though. So good luck. > You can test that with req_header ACL type and a regex pattern. >Amos I think I found a work-around. I added another ACL and used the same list of "whitelisted" domains, but instead of dstdomain the new acl is of type srcdomain. So the access list looks like : --cut-- ### Whitelisted sites for all users acl whitelist dstdomain "/etc/squid/lists/whitelist.txt" acl blocklist srcdomain "/etc/squid/lists/whitelist.txt" http_access allow whitelist http_access deny !blocklist ############################### ### Allow authenticated users # ############################### http_access allow authed all --cut-- This allows my un-authenticated users access to the whitelisted domains and blocks any links in the sites that are not whitelisted(like facebook and youtube). It also allows my authenticated users access to all sites, including whitelisted sites, as well as allowing linked sites like facebook etc. Do you perhaps see any issue with this setup?
