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

The HQ office network is behind a Linux appliance running Squid in
transparent mode. All filtering / usage policies are enforced via
Dansguardian & Squid.

When users go on the road with laptops, all usage should still go through
the Squid proxy back at the HQ. So I put the proxy settings in the browsers,
lock the the settings so employees can't change them, and all works well,
UNTIL the laptop is outside the LAN.

Then I get a Squid proxy error unless I add an ACL of the public IP of the
laptop.

acl twdlaptop src ##.##.##
http_access allow twdlaptop

Then everything works just peachy, except that the IP address of the laptop
on the road necessarily changes. Is there a more flexible way to allow road
warriors to use the HQ proxy? I thought of using OpenVPN, but I'd like a
solution for laptops & Windows Mobile Phones as well, although laptops are
the more current issue.
