How to configure Squid with for authentication but skip it for local requests

authenticationhttp-proxysquid

My Squid HTTP proxy works fine with authentication. Here is the config:

auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm test-proxy
auth_param basic credentialsttl 4 hours
auth_param basic casesensitive off

But I want that my locally running applications which use the proxy don't have to authenticate. How to disable authentication for requests from localhost?

Best Answer

Something like

acl localhost src 127.0.0.1
acl auth proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow localhost auth

should do the trick.
