Re: [squid-users] Do i need to configure the browsers?

If you want to use authentication (NCSA auth or other) then you must
find a way to configure the browsers to use a proxy.

There is multiple methods of activating a proxy configuration in the
browsers, depending on your environment:
  * Manual configuration of proxy address
  * Manual configuraiton of proxy auto config script
  * Automatic configuration via central logon scripts run each time the
users log on to the network (corporate environment)
  * WPAD automatic configuration via DHCP/DNS, if supported by the
browser.

And then, if you do not need authentication, there is the dirty method
of intercepting any requests for port 80 at the TCP/IP level and have
them sent to the proxy. See the Squid FAQ. Note however that
interception at the TCP/IP level is incompatible with the use of
authentication.
