Test Clients

Start a browser on a client behind the AZTCO-FW firewall, and see what happens. If squid is configured for authentication, the client will be greeted with a login prompt. Otherwise, check squid’s logs to ensure traffic is going through the proxy. A proxy test site such as http://www.lagado.com/proxy-test can also be useful.

If nothing happened, check the browser settings. Many modern browsers ship with the autoconfigure settings off.
