I'm back on this after a few days...Thanks for your reply, Amos. What you
said about authentication makes a lot of sense. So I disabled transparent
mode, and required authentication and I get the exact same problem. (using
Clarkconnect 5.0) Squid throughs an error, but does NOT give me a login
dialog box as it would inside the LAN!!!

A few more details about what I'm trying to do...

1. Using Dansguardian content filter on Clarkconnect 5.0
2. When I'm OUTSIDE the CC lan using proxy settings in the browser, I get
the Dansguardian error page if I try to go to a banned site.
3. When I try to visit a site that is acceptable, I get the Squid error.
4. Then if I put in the ACL rule to allow my WAN IP, everything works.

Any ideas? I'd really like to just use proxy settings without VPN involved.

Thank you in advance.
