Re: Tunnelling Squid Proxy

Robert,

>> I have a remote (outside-the-U.S.) user for whom X-forwarding is

It's not just the slow nominal rate of the connection, it's also the large latencies involved, that make X forwarding over such links a pain. Compression doesn't improve the latency. Also, there's no point in doing this when forwarding just the HTTP proxy traffic is perfectly doable and much more effective.
