Like so: > > http_access deny !ncsa > http_access allow localnet > > or > > http_access deny !ncsa > http_access allow ncsa So I changed the configuration according to what you suggested and now I can access the internet. Below is how the configuration now looks like: acl ncsa src all auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/basic_ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid_passwd auth_param basic realm proxy acl authenticated proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow authenticated ncsa I am able to access the internet now, does this mean that everything worked fine? I am asking because I will be using this proxy authentication setup in c-icap for setting up the url_check service. Also I am not prompted for any password, I am able to access the internet just like that. Is that how it is supposed to work because if I don't need to enter the password before browsing the web what would be the point of it all. Right? or am I missing something here?
