Re: [squid-users] mIRC

There's no point running mIRC through Squid, there is no recurrent data to
cache and it doesn't use the HTTP protocol.

If you're concerned about security, running through a proxy is not going to
help. mIRC is a huge security hole and better left blocked on a security
conscious network, or at least allowed direct from a limited number of
machines.

My opinion.
