Comments on: How To: Configure Squid Proxy Server

I later realised the issue had to do with the firewall setting on the proxy server itself. The 8080 ports allowed on the squid and any other ports ( https, ftp, ssh, etc) also need to be enable on the firewall.

The squid is working perfectly now and all the windows systems are connecting to the internet through the server.
Thank you all.

I have successful installed squid on fedora linux (SQUID 2.6 STABLE12) and working fine on the server itself using the proxy. However, my clients running windows ( win 7 and win xp) can’t browse using the proxy. The server is on the same network as the clients and they could even ping one another.

In fact, the clients show ‘the connection has timed out’ instead of ‘Access denied’ which clearly shows it does not see the server at all.

Initially I thought this has to do with the expoler but even mozilla can’t connect to the proxy on the clients machine.

I would be glad if someone can help me on this

Below are the few commented configuration on my squid: (these configs allows the server to browse): My network 10.1.0.0/25, Proxy server 10.1.0.3

# The port on which squid will listen for requests
http_port 3128

acl our_networks src 10.1.0.0/25
http_access allow our_networks

http_access allow localhost

http_rely_access allow all

icp_access allow all

visible_hostname infinityproxy

Squid doesn’t support 443 or you can say iptable will not log 443 in iptable.log. Remove this rule then you can access 443 website. Make acl rule for such sites or you can use squidguard or dansguard to block 443 sites permanently.

You need to create a bridge for eth0 and eth1, so then it will work…
