Squid Transparent Cache and Hotmail

Noticed today no one on our system was able to logon to hotmail. Anyone else have that problem? Added a bypass for there subnet to fix it.

I would email the Squid support list to ask if there is an issue but since Mikrotik 2.8x uses 2.4 instead of the latest 2.5STABLE I doubt they would help. Is there anyway we can get 2.5STABLE added to 2.8x? And while we are at it get “aufs” turned on as they reccommend? Or will there be a stable 2.9 release soon?

Matt

what subnet are you using??

Work around found.

If you absolutely MUST transparently intercept the client traffic then I
highly recommend to NAT all traffic (proxied and direct) to the same IP
address. If not you will certainly run into login and/or session problems
with numerous web sites.

I imagine they mean fake its really coming from the end users IP rather then letting the website see the proxies IP. Is this possible with Mikrotik? How do you set that up?
