Under normal circumstances, Squid should generate no certificates in
your setup AFAICT.

In other words:

  ssl_bump peek all
  ssl_bump splice all

Why not just do this instead:

  ssl_bump splice all

I have not tested this, but I do not understand why you want a
three-step SslBump to blindly forward an SSL connection to a peer. I
would use the minimal number of steps possible: one if it works or two
if I have to because of some Squid bugs/missing features.

When everything goes OK, Squid should generate no certificates in either
case, but with three-step SslBump, there are a lot more opportunities
for Squid to detect problems and want to send an error response to the
client. To send an error message, Squid bumps the connection to the
client (which does require fake certificate generation).

Finally, I do not know whether Squid is capable of peeking at the origin
server through a peer, but I doubt it is. If my guess is correct, then
three-step splicing will not work for you because during step3 your
Squid will already be talking to the origin server rather than a
cache_peer (or will fail because it cannot do that).

I suggest the following order:

  1. Decide whether your Squid should bump or splice.
  2. Find the configuration that does what you decided in #1.

So far, you have given no reasons to warrant bumping so I assume you do
not need or want to bump anything. Thus, you should ignore any
configurations that contain "stare", "bump", or deprecated "*-first"
ssl_bump actions.


HTH,
