| Tag Name | prefer_direct |
| Usage | prefer_direct on|off |
Description
Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you by some reason like it to first try going direct and only use a parent if going direct fails then set this to off.
By combining non hierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct fails.
| Default | prefer_direct off |
