"feelings" aside, that is exactly the situation. SSL-Bump is literally a
security attack on clients traffic. Exactly the thing TLS is designed to
prevent.

As all our official SSL-Bump documentation says very prominently:
  "when used properly TLS cannot be bumped".

There was a long period where very few websites used TLS properly. The
"HTTPS Everywhere" project has forced a lot of sites admin to get
experience with HTTPS and over time more networks are actually starting
to use it properly.

Which version are you using now?

"their"? Whose proxy?

If the problem is coming from a proxy that is not yours, contact its'
sysadmin.

That depends on what you have configured (see below) and whether the
sites you are interested in are capable of being bumped (see above).

Exact version, as shown by squid -v, including OpenSSL library version.

FYI; the *default* for SSL-Bump is not to exist. So no your config is
way beyond default, simple as it is.

This performs the bump action without any actual info from the TLS
server being "bumped". So of course you can expect a lot of problems
with that.

A "reliable" (as much as it can be) configuration looks at the TLS
handshake from each endpoint before deciding which details to pass on
and which to change:


 acl step1 at_step SslBump1
 ssl_bump peek step1
 ssl_bump splice domains_dont_sslbump
 ssl_bump stare all
 ssl_bump bump all


Adding in your whitelist of non-bump domains would look like:

 acl step1 at_step SslBump1
 ssl_bump peek step1
 ssl_bump splice domains_dont_sslbump
 ssl_bump stare all
 ssl_bump bump all
