Thread: direct conection to internet for some websites

Dear all,
is there a way in squid to allow some websites go direct to internet bypassing the squid acls?
the users must get direct access to some sites when they use squid as proxyserver.

Yes you just need to add to your squid.conf something like this

acl direct-connect dst_domain *.mydomain.com
cache deny direct-connect

Everything under *.mydomain.com will not be cached, this might be what you need.

If you need direct connection because some kind of socket has to establish a connection the is a whole different animal, if the squid is transparent you can exclude the IPs with iptables, so IPs identified on the rules will not get routed to the Squid.

If it is configured on the browser, you can usually find a list of exceptions on which sites to skip.


Hope it helps.
