Hi,

This just means that the squid didnt match the site with the one from
the ACL.
Check in the access_log which url's that users is accessing when
connecting to that site.

I guess that the URL which the users tries to access is using some kind
of external link (banners, google ads, etc) which is not in your list.
That's why the user can press cancel and still can see the 'needed'
stuff
