Re: [SQU] Squid for cache only

Martin and Clement,

It seems a good news for me. However, I could not find the
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR or REMOTE_ADDR in my squid.conf.

I am VERY curious about this issue. Because our IX is using old version of
Squid. If I use the link, my IP is "exposed". Unfortunately, our Squid
cannot.

Please advise. Thx

Best Regards,

Awie
