Hello, Thanks again. You right, I must move the following lines after the authentication lines: http_access allow localnet http_access allow localhost http_access deny all It worked.

Do you see Firefox requests/transactions reflected in Squid access.log? Anything in Squid cache.log? Sorry, I do not know where those logs are on your machine. Typical locations include /var/log/ and /usr/local/squid/var/logs Another thing to check is whether the http_access rules you have added are in the right place. If you simply appended those rules to the default Squid configuration file, then they will not work (because http_access rules above them will be used instead). Default squid.conf marks the place where you should insert custom http_access rules: Look for an "INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE" comment. You can check this second theory by removing "http_access allow auth_users" and leaving just the "http_access deny all" rule that you have added earlier. If everything still works, then either Squid does not receive these requests at all (i.e. the first theory) or your access rules are too low (i.e. this second theory).
