[squid-users] Squid as an education tool

[Francesco Chemolli]

Hi Eliezer, Marcus,
  what you describe seems very similar to a captive portal, just with a
very dynamic allowlist policy.
I'm confident that it can be implemented with Squid, a few helpers, and a
side webserver plus a small website.
In fact, it would probably be a nice project to release to the community if
it were built to be generic enough
