I'm setting up a Squid forward proxy and I'm wondering if I could configure Squid in such a way that the connection from my web browser to squid is https regardless of whether the connection from squid to the destination website is http or https. In other words, I want my connection from my web browser to my forward proxy to be encrypted even though I'm just surfing normal http website through that proxy.

Can it be done?

Don't really know Squid that deeply, but something involving https_port... – Holger Just Jun 22 '11 at 16:31

Squid 3.0 has https_port configuration directive. See this configuration example on Squid Wiki for details.

The config example only covers the "reverse proxy" case. Will it work for a forward proxy as well? – syneticon-dj Jun 22 '11 at 21:29
