RE: [squid-users] Squid as only a transparent cache

I want Squid to behave only as a transparent caching proxy. We are making all traffic go through a bridge box which runs squid.
I want that no user can explicitly use squid as a proxy cache by configuring proxy cache settings in the browser. Only traffic that is routed through the bridge box gets transparently intercepted for caching.

Saurabh

What are you trying to achieve?
Why do you want to drop proper safe port-3128 traffic and keep the most
dangerous requests?
