That's the whole point. Regardless of what filter you're using and
whether you are intercepting or not, the Squid machine becomes the
default gateway for clients. As I mentioned in my first email, you turn
on packet forwarding.
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
There is no proxy configuration whatsoever on the client side.
You won't be able to intercept HTTPS for the same reason why you cannot
do it with FTP, ie. the browser is not talking the correct protocol.
