With the newly reviewed configuration in the attachment

OT: Please note that your configuration does not follow the recommended http_access rules order template in squid.conf.default and might, depending on your deployment environment, allow Squid to be used for attacks on 3rd party resources (e.g., ssh services). This observation is not related to your primary question and your "ban certain sites" goal. Following suggestions at the end of this email should fix this problem.


I found the following statement in the following official document
https://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/host_verify_strict/

> * The host names (domain or IP) must be identical,

So I ran an additional validation with an empty Host value, and the
request succeeded for a domain that was not in the whitelist.
The curl command for verification is below, and as before, only
.pypi.org is allowed in the whitelist.

date;curl https://www.yahoo.co.jp/ -H "Host:" -v --cacert squid.crt -k

Is it possible for Squid to prevent such requests as well?

Yes, a req_header ACL should be able to detect such requests (i.e. requests without a Host header or with an empty Host header value). However, I suspect that "missing Host" is _not_ the problem you should be solving (as detailed below).


I was able to confirm that any one of the SNI, IP, or Host in the
request is incorrect (not whitelist allowed)
and Squid will correctly check and return a 409 Conflict.

IMHO, you should target/validate a different set of goals/conditions:

* A valid request targeting a banned site should be denied (HTTP 403 response, %Ss=TCP_DENIED, %err_code=ERR_ACCESS_DENIED). This denial should be triggered by an "http_access deny" rule, preferably an explicit one. This denial will _not_ happen (and the request will instead be forwarded to the banned site it targets) if you replace all your http_access rules with a single "http_access allow all" line. This denial does not depend on host_verify_strict and underlying code.

* An invalid request should be rejected (HTTP 4xx response). This includes, but is not limited to, host_verify_strict-driven rejections. This rejection should happen even if you replace all your http_access rules with a single "http_access allow all" line.

AFAICT, your current configuration does not reach "deny valid requests targeting banned sites" goal while your question implies that you are incorrectly relying on host_verify_strict to perform that denial.


I recommend the following:

1. Remove all of your current http_access rules. Keep ACLs. Perform host_verify_strict and access tests to confirm that all valid requests are denied and all invalid requests are rejected. If necessary, ask questions, file bug reports, patch Squid, and/or adjust your configuration to pass this test.

2. Copy http_access rules, with comments, from generated squid.conf.default. Insert your own access rules in the location marked by "INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE" comment. Perform host_verify_strict and access tests to confirm that all valid requests to banned sites are denied, all other valid requests are allowed, and all invalid requests are rejected. If necessary, ask questions, file bug reports, patch Squid, and/or adjust your configuration to pass this test.

When using Squid transparently, is it possible to control the
whitelist of the domain to connect to and inspect the Host field in
the request header together?

Short answer: Yes.


According to the verification results, the Host field can be inspected
by "host_verify_strict on" in squid-transparent.conf, but it seems
that the whitelist is not controlled.

AFAICT, the configuration you have shared allows all banned[1] traffic
to/through https_port. For the problematic test case #5:

All these http_access rules do _not_ match:

http_access allow localnet whitelist
http_access deny localnet whitelist_https !https_port
http_access deny localnet whitelist_transparent_https !https_port


And then this next rule matches and allows traffic through:

http_access allow https_port


This last http_access rule is not reached:

http_access deny all


N.B. The above analysis assumes that your https_port ACL is explicitly
defined in your squid.conf to match all traffic received at https_port.
If you do not have such an ACL defined, then you need to fix that
problem as well. I recommend naming ACLs differently from directive
names (e.g., "toHttpsPort" rather than "https_port").


Please note that Squid v4 is not supported by the Squid Project and is
very buggy. I recommend using Squid v6 or later.


HTH,

[1] Here, "banned" means "_not_ matching whitelist ACL".

■Verification of Settings
I ran the curl command from each of the client environments that use Squid.
1. if SNI, Destination IP, and HeaderHost are correct, the user should
be able to connect to pypi.org
Command:
date;curl https://pypi.org/ -v --cacert squid_2.crt -k
Result: OK

2. rejection of communication to pypi.org if SNI is correct but
destination IP and HeaderHost are incorrect
Command:
date;curl https://pypi.org/ --resolve pypi.org:443:182.22.24.252 -H
"Host: www.yahoo.co.jp"  -v --cacert squid_2.crt -k
Result: OK (409 Conflict is returned)

3. rejection of communication to pypi.org if SNI and destination IP
are correct and HeaderHost is incorrect
Command:
date;curl https://pypi.org/ -H "Host: www.yahoo.co.jp" -v --cacert
squid_2.crt -k
Result: OK (409 Confilic returned)

4. rejection of communication to pypi.org if SNI and HeaderHost are
correct but destination IP is incorrect
Command:
date;curl https://pypi.org/ --resolve pypi.org:443:182.22.24.252 -v
--cacert squid_2.crt -k
Result: OK (409 Confilic returned)

5. if SNI, destination IP, and HeaderHost are all invalid (yahoo.co.jp
not registered in whitelist), communication will be rejected
Command:
date;curl https://yahoo.co.jp/ -v --cacert squid_2.crt -k
Result: NG (301 Moved Permanently is returned, but it appears that the
communication is reaching yahoo.co.jp)
