Re: [squid-users] Squid as a VPN

Yes.

Squid gets the https:// request as an SSL server, decrypts it, and
processes the request just as if it was a http request, including full
access controls etc.

And with the SSL update patch to Squid-2.5, Squid optionally encrypts
the request again when forwarding it to the backend web server.
