Re: [squid-users] how do I ensure that my request is passing through squid proxy

The following lines I have added to the squid.conf file

cache_peer 10.65.0.32 parent 3128 3128 no-query login=PASS
prefer_direct off

My institution proxy also connects to the port 3128. A window keeps appearing for
authentication even after entering the username and password.

Is there any thing with the lines I have added?
