Set up a proxy with authentication that doesn't route traffic through it?

Question

I have tried squid proxy on Ubuntu and managed to set-up authentication. Is it possible to use a proxy only for authentication: if a client is authenticated, they will be able to browse the web, but without passing through the proxy. Like this you can only allow certain clients but without having a lot of traffic passing through the server.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Can I ask you a question?



Is your proxy your only gateway to the web.



Squid proxy would enhance your browsing by caching.

It reduces bandwidth and improves response times by caching and reusing frequently-requested web pages. Squid has extensive access controls and makes a great server accelerator. It runs on most available operating systems, including Windows.



Why would you want to by-pass this feature? Are we looking for a hack? It would be in the client configuration to be authenticated then go to a alternate gateway. It would depend how you are setup network wise. I must admit I have no great experience in this matter. Are we looking for a back door possibly. You have peaked my curiosity!
