      Hi
      I installed fpsense on a machine to have good control over my internet access.

      I have read up a few things on squid.

      What I want to do is:

      have a very restrictive web access for the standard transparent proxy. I want it restricted to some very specific sites, such as the antivirus update.

      As for web browsing want a unrestricted web access through my computer with password protection.

      The third, I guess specifically for skype. MS owns it so are weary of what the application contacts.

      Is this doable?
      I am guessing it is.

      I am fairly familiar with pfsense but not squid.
      Any pointers appreciated.

      Thanks

        Yes, it is possible.

        BUT you cannot use transparent proxy and authenticated (password protected) proxy at the same time.
