    Squid3 simple proxy setup

    I have set up Hardy to use as a little proxy server with a white list for a few Windows kiosks that are located in an unwatched area of a plant. I have no choice about the Windows part. I do not need a DHCP server or a firewall just a simple proxy.

    I followed the instructions from 2 blogs. The proxy is working but not the way I need it to. The white list file is loaded but ignored and https:// sites that are not on the white list load. The blog posts are here



    My squid.conf file is below. Most of it is the default settings that came with Squid3.

    Code:
    #Recommended minimum configuration:
    acl manager proto cache_object
    acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32
    acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8

    Re: Squid3 simple proxy setup

    With much help from the Squid mailing lists at www.squid-cache.org here is a corrected squid.conf in case others might be interested. I am running this on Ubuntu 10.4 server AMD64.

    Code:
    #Recommended minimum configuration:
    acl manager proto cache_object
    acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32
    acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8

    acl SSL_ports port 443
    acl Safe_ports port 80		# http
    acl Safe_ports port 21		# ftp
    acl Safe_ports port 443		# https
    acl Safe_ports port 70		# gopher
    acl Safe_ports port 210		# wais
    acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535	# unregistered ports

    Re: Squid3 simple proxy setup

    I am on a network that uses proxy with authentication scheme.
    Can anyone help me edit the conf file.

    When I tried installing squid in Ubuntu 12.04, it automatically installed squid, squid3 and squid-common.

    so let me know how to edit its conf file.

    Thank you in advance.
