So just to make sure:
you want to intercept https traffic of the mobile devices?
I am not sure what the topology is and why do you need proxy to provide
connectivity.
To provide connectivity you need a router rather then a proxy.
If you can describe the network and then describe this need with more
words I might be able to help you with it.

Hello Squid Mailing List (my 1st post :) )
Looking to setup a small squid proxy for around 12 mobile devices
without the need to add a proxy to the devices, because the network i am
doing this for already has a firewall (which we have no direct control)
and an "upstream" proxy does there need to be any configuration changes
on the firewall or can squid just be told there is an upstream proxy and
requests are forwarded to it.
the reason i ask is because i have tried to use some other router
distro's Smoothwall Express for example and they have not been able to
forward any of the https traffic. I don't have an essential need for the
local proxy to cache internet pages, simply to provide a connection is
enough.
Any hints or tips appreciated
Thanks
