Hi all,
great, i'm just searching for this. Jason can you kindly post the whole squid.conf?
Thanks

Hi there

I'm wanting to use tls intercept to just log (well OK, and potentially block) HTTPS sites based on hostnames (from SNI), but have had problems even in peek-and-splice mode. So I'm willing to compromise and instead just intercept that traffic, log it, block on IP addresses if need be, and don't use ssl-bump beyond that.

So far the following seems to work perfectly, can someone confirm this is "supported" - ie that I'm not relying on some bug that might get fixed later? ;-)

sslcrtd_program /usr/lib64/squid/ssl_crtd -s /var/lib/squid/ssl_db -M 256MB
sslcrtd_children 32 startup=15 idle=5
acl SSL_https port 443
ssl_bump splice SSL_https
acl BlacklistedHTTPSsites dstdomain "/etc/squid/acl-BlacklistedHTTPSsites.txt"
http_access deny BlacklistedHTTPSsites

The "bug" comment comes down to how acl seems to work. I half-expected the above not to work - but it does. It would appear squid will treat an intercept's dst IP as the "dns name" as that's all it's got - so "dstdomain" works fine for both CONNECT and intercept IFF the acl contains IP addresses

I was hoping I wouldn't need ssl-bump at all, but you need squid to be running a https_port, and for it to support "intercept", and to do that squid insists on "ssl-bump" too - although that seems likely was a programmer assumption that didn't include people like me doing mad things like this? :-). I'd also guess I don't need 32 children/etc  - 1 would suffice as it's never used?

So the end result is that all CONNECT and/or intercept SSL/TLS traffic is supported via the proxy, with all TLS security decisions residing on the client. I get my logs, and if I want to block some known bad IP address, I can: CONNECT causes a 403 HTTP error page and intercept basically ditches the tcp/443 connection - which is as good as it gets without getting into the wonderful world of real "bump"
