Transparent Proxy: Squid allow Chrome to open gmail.com when it's blocked
-
Hi
I have a very strange issue, I have blocked Webmail category on SquidGuard and I know when operating in transparent mode the only way to block the HTTPS connection is to block it in Squid. I did this, however and Chrome somehow find it appropriate to display the page.
In IE this is the page I get:
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
–------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.gmail.com/
The following error was encountered:
• Access Denied.
Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect.
Your cache administrator is admin@localhost.
This is the desired result and this does happen in Firefox and other browsers except for Google Chrome.
Anyone had the same problem?

If chrome is actually using the proxy, consult the proxy logs from the transaction to see just what server Chrome is hitting. It may be a special/different URL.

The funny part is I am getting this in the logs:
192.168.123.119 TCP_DENIED/403 1340 GET http://mail.google.com/ - NONE/- text/html
192.168.123.114 TCP_DENIED/403 1336 GET http://www.gmail.com/ - NONE/- text/htmlBut still it shows the page…
Any other ideas?

To those intressted, I managed to archive my goal by setting up an Firewall rule to REJECT the following Network range: 74.125.0.0/16
