      Hi,

      Till now, we have used squid as Transparent Proxy. Our 'Default allow LAN to any rule ' had following advanced options,
      Maximum number of established connections per host : 150
      Maximum state entries per host: 150
      which really helped us to maintain the bandwidth per user.

      With a view to filter https traffic, now we want to change it to non Transparent mode. As read in the forum, to make this work, we have to block 'allow all default LAN rule'.

      So where we can control maximum state entries per host, in case of non transparent squid mode?

      2.0.2-RELEASE (amd64)  &  2.2.2-RELEASE (amd64)

      Always trying to learn!!

        If you are not using transparent mode, they connect to the proxy on port 3128 (or whatever you set), so you just make a rule at the top to pass from the LAN to the LAN address on 3128 and put your limits on that rule.
