I do use ssl bump again it requires certificates installed on the devices, and or some and a splice for the others. You must also add a url list for items that must never be intercepted like banks etc. I agree it is not an easy task, it took me years to get it to work correctly for what I needed. When it does work it works beautifully, you can cache updates and reuse them, you can use clam AV on https traffic. It’s not for everyone it will make you a wizard level 1000 if you can get it going.

Jonathan, can you give me an example of it working?

Oddly, you are replying to a message from Alex that I never received.

Alex, in answer to your questions...

I'm doing some testing against a client's site, they require a custom header to allow my connections through their WAF. I could try to do this manually with all my tools, but it would be easier to just have Squid do it for me and then have the tools use Squid as their proxy. I can tell them to not do cert checking or I can use my own CA and import it into the system store, that is not a problem.

I've tried searching for Squid and sslbump and not found anything useful that works with the current version, that is why I'm asking here, I was hoping someone could point me at an example that would definitely work with the current version of Squid.

You can search for Squid SslBump to get more information about this feature, but the area is full of insurmountable difficulties and misleading advice. Avoid it if at all possible!
