[squid-users] How to avoid Squid disclosing the origin server IP when there is an error

[Eliezer Croitoru]

Hey Manuel,

The reason the client receives the destination IP or other details is 
due to the structure of the ERROR page.
Depends on your OS you can find the ERROR page file and modify it so the 
format will meet your requirements.
You can take a look at the wiki about custom error pages:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/CustomErrors

and specifically you will might need to change\remove the "%I" from the 
template.
Or if you are willing to write a custom error page which is different 
from the squid defaults to meet your site visual structure.

All The Bests,
Eliezer
