        @patelsaheb I think we would need a little more context on what "not working properly" means and what you have done. Are your clients configured to use the proxy or are you redirecting them to the proxy? do you know that config is working properly? etc.

          HI.

          we have configured squid with transparent mode.
          we byass few ips from our network and block few websites according to snap but still few sites are not filtered like youtube and https sites.

            OK... even if you configure squid with transparent mode, you will have to either explicitly configure clients to use the proxy or have a firewall rule to redirect clients to it. Have you verified that the firewall rule is created and working? Also - as far as I know - you cannot transparently redirect HTTPS traffic. You would have to explicitly point to the proxy from the client.
