Re: [squid-users] squid & Windows Firewall

If you are doing transparent interception, where the client HTTP requests
are being silently forwarded to the squid on the router, this should not be
a problem, as Windows Firewall will not see anything different than HTTP
traffic without a proxy.

Subject: [squid-users] squid & Windows Firewall

We're looking to roll out the Windows Firewall on our clients. I cannot
imagine that squid is relevant to this equation as all communication is
done by the client and initiated by the client and done via a browser,
but are there any potential "gotchas!" here? Are we more likely to see
timeouts for slow response web servers for example?

I feel silly for asking, but better safe than sorry I guess.
