RE: [squid-users] can my isp see sites i visitied if i am using p roxy?

I was thinking the same thing, and was going to say, if you do "evil"
things, Evil, then there's a good chance you're asking for trouble:) Even if
your IP address is hidden behind squid, and squid is not at the ISP but at
your company or house, if something is going on, they'll trace it to the
owner of the squid box and start asking them questions, who then in turn
will do their own checking of logs and try to locate the offender.

Who are you? I don't like pseudonyms.

They can (technically) sniff your traffic any time. The only information you
hide is your internal client IP address unless you enabled the
X-Forwarded-For header. How do you think traffic will reach its destination?
HTTP-over-miracle?

I may be mistaken regarding your intentions but... if you try to do illegal
things you should know more than just how to install Squid.
