Cool, that's the bit I was looking at so I'll follow that, thanks. I've made the suggested changes to my security but I'm getting the following error when I run reconfigure: 2015/01/29 14:50:37| aclParseAclList: ACL name '%LOGIN' not found. FATAL: Bungled /etc/squid3/squid.conf line 312: http_access deny %LOGIN Squid Cache (Version 3.3.8): Terminated abnormally.
