There are several potential bugs here: 1) Based on your earlier emails, Squid did not log CONNECT request and response after step #10. Please confirm that. 2) Squid reset the connection instead of serving a deny message. It is strange that the client used an SSL message instead of TLS like it did before F5, but it is not clear why that resulted in a connection reset (even if some unsupported SSL version was used). Please set debug_options to "ALL,9", repeat the above steps, and post the resulting cache.log (compressed if needed). You may want to file a Squid bug report for that as the mailing list may not allow large attachments. After you do the above, please see if the behavior changes if you add this rule before "http_access deny all": http_access allow CONNECT >>> If I press F5 to refresh the browser, the established connection is >>> closed and the browser show 'Proxy refused the connection'. >> Questions: >> >> a) Which side initiated browser-Squid connection closure in #8? > I think squid.
