OK guys, I think you got my point. @Alex, thank you for the well-detailed answer. My main need is to encrypt/protect username and password (or Proxy-Authentication header) sent on the first CONNECT to the proxy server, in a way this username and password can't be sniffed. The other need is creating a rule allowing only some dstdomain's. So I understand that I can achieve that: 1. Enabling "https_port" directive (on a specific port) 2. Using an ACL rule like acl allowed_target dstdomain api.mydomain.com http_access allow auth_users allowed_target Is that right? My scenario is: I have a serverless API that needs to connect to a couple specific targets from a static IP. As this serverless API doesn't have a static IP, I thought to do this through a proxy server. That's why I need to enforce security on the authentication layer.
