It's fully programmable. You can probably make it verify the user token and URL against a database.

Really? I don't see much in the docs about this except https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/4.1/users-guide/vcl-inlin...

They seem (at first glance) to have no concept of security in the sense of restricting people's access to certain content like in the case of all social networks.

It's extensible in C, and modules (http://www.varnish-cache.org/vmods/) are available to talk to e.g. Redis.
