overview

Use SafeSquid in front of the corporate proxy. A simple configuration in SafeSquid server, will forward all client requests to the forward proxy i.e. Parent Proxy.

Example scenarios:

Proxy chain scenaios.png Here am using two proxy servers as SafeSquid only

My client(Browser)'s network IP - 192.168.0.27

My Child Proxy's network IP - 192.168.27.50 ( with no direct internet Access)

My Parent Proxy's network IP - 192.168.27.100

Configuration on child proxy :

1.Deploy SafeSquid proxy 
2.Enabling SSL inspection in SafeSquid
3.Downloading ROOT CA certificate from SafeSquid 
4.Deploy certificate in client browsers.
5.Enable forwarding to parent proxy using forwarding section 

Configuration on Parent proxy :

Deploy SafeSquid, it is up and running, No extra configuration required in parent proxy

Prerequisites

Enable HTTPS inspection on child proxy ( if you want,on Parent proxy also). Check our document to configure HTTPS inspection on SafeSquid - How to configure HTTPS inspection 

Import SafeSquid child proxy ROOT CA in client browser 

Note : No configuration required on Parent Proxy server. Just deploy the parent proxy and make sure that it is up and  running.
