With "options=ALL" you have enabled all features in the OpenSSL library
including features which can cause the popular modern browsers to view
Squid as a dangerously insecure server.

I also tried it without options=ALL. The reason I enabled it was that the documentation says:

 Enable various bug workarounds suggested as "harmless" by OpenSSL
 Be warned that this reduces SSL/TLS strength to some attacks.

This seemed useful to me.

Theres nothing in the above which uses SNI. All that does is cause Squid
to expolicitly look at the TLS handshake that is going on. Then to
splice the two connections together a if it weren't there.

Yes, I know. I would use something like this for that:

 external_acl_type sg1t %URI %SRC %METHOD %ssl::>sni /tmp/test.sh
 acl sg1 external sg1t
 ssl_bump terminate step3 sg1

which does work. In the test script, I can either allow or reject a connection based on the SNI that is passed in (if one is).
I have no trouble there, only with the peek/splice stuff.

I'm trying to get peek/splice to work on all intercepted https connections. As soon as that works, I can do fancy stuff with SNI. But when I enable peek/splice as in the config above, I can no longer connect to https sites from Chrome and Firefox, so that is what I need to solve first. Sorry if I was unclear.

Then you are explicily disabling the checks to ensure the connections
Squid uses to send the clients private data to servers are secure.

Yes, I am, but since I'm only splicing the connection, the browser itself should be able to get the original certificate sent by the server, and handle it appropriately. Or am I mistaken there?

... and with an older version of OpenSSL missing many of the last few
years worth of TLS crypto features. IIRC the library releases are now up
to 1.1.* or something. Its best to keep that kind of thing operating the
latest versions.

I know it missing the latest features, but security patches are backported. And I know it is old, but it's what I have to work with now. Do you think it might be the cause of the problem I'm having with peek/splice, or was it a general recommendation?

It may sound silly but, do all those browsers even support SNI on your
OS with the crypto libraries they use?

Ah, I should have said, chrome and FF are on a Windows 7.

Thanks,

Roel
