1) generate certificates

2) configure Squid

3) watch traffic flow.


Not much help aye? The wiki page is as dumbed-down as we can make it for
newbies without omitting important details needed to actually work.

NP: though I did see it went too far and omitted the https_port "accel"
mode parameter. Adding that your Squid will check for reverse-proxy
capabilitues instead of ssl-bump capabilities in the certs.


As Yuri said learning about how PKI works is somewhat important now
that you are dealing with it as more just than a user. Particularly how
to create the right types of certificate for the task it is supposed to
do is critical.
