RE: [squid-users] Laptops/Mobile Phones using Squid on the road

Here is a link to my Squid config. http://www.thinkwelldesigns.com/backups/squid.zip

The ACL rules I use are in the section below:

# INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM YOUR CLIENTS

The only way I have been able to make this work reliably is to add more ACL rules such as:

acl elmerlaptop src ##.##.##.##
http_access allow elmerlaptop

But as I mentioned before, the public IP of the laptop changes.

Sorry if you get this twice, my mail app died...

I think the DG rules and access may have to be adjusted to let external
people who are logged in through.

If not that I think I'm going to have to see your acl and http_access lines
config to see if there is any obvious reason for the denial.
