[squid-users] Allowing a dial up user?

Hello Squid heads!

I apologize if this question is rehashed ad nauseam, but I didn't find
it with a search or two in the archives, so here goes...

My wife has been using her t-mobile cell phone with the "t-zones"
service ($4.99 US per month) to access the internet via GPRS from her
laptop (PBG4 OSX 10.3.6).

Recently T-mobile decided to block port 80 on this service (the
bastards).

I stewed over this for a while and considered paying the $19.99 per
month (still US) to get web access back.

Then I realized there are other means at my disposal :~)

I installed and configured Squid(2.5 stable) on one of my servers
running OSX 10.3.7. I am using Webmin to administrate this setup.
This went super well, and I have squid running and I am thrilled with
this.

I have port scanned and am using port 465 for the cell phone service
proxy.

My problem is that I can't really see how to best "allow" for a
wandering cell phone user to connect to my proxy? If I "allow all" it
works, but I realize this is a security issue, and don't seem to be
able to figure the best way to lock out bad guys while allowiing the
cell.

I also don't seem to have any authentication working? I added a user
to the internal authentication list, and tried to authenticate, but
my stats seem to show that isn't happening?

Thanks for suggestions, ideas, or links back to relevant archive
areas...
