@dblog

i think http://www.LiveConnector.com/chat/ is broken i can’t open it even without proxy, firefox says it’s an infinite loop url

i haven’t test to run squid on d: drive, but you can change the directory where squid NT store its cache if i’m not mistaken

Hi Markus,
Is there a way to install squid not in the default folder “c:” but in other folder “d:”?
I’ve try to replace all “c:/squid” with “d:/squid” in squid.conf but it always failed to run it says “abnormal program termination”

hmmm…. still wondering what makes that error… T_T

warm regards,
dblog

Hi Markus,
Thanks for clear explanation on you TUT, btw I have a problem when I try to enter “www.LiveConnector.com/Chat/” I got an error message “Connection attemp failed”, I’ve already using the latest flash player, but still got the same message. Is there any port do I have to set in the acl Safe_Ports section and what port is that?

kind regards,dblog

@khaled, localhost will always point to the computer itself, you can only use “localhost” only if you setup the proxy on the same computer where you use to browse the internet.

if you for example setup the proxy on computer A and browse from computer B, then you have to use computer A’s IP address as the proxy address on your browser.

MARKUS… YOU ROCK!
I got it working. Thanks for the walkthrough, dude !
One of the few CFG stuff that got it up and running. But I got a question, in the browser’s settings I must use the proxy as the interface’s IP address not as localhost.. what’s the workaround for that to accept the localhost phrase? I mean what if I join another network with another ip address.

@nezzal, the configuration between the windows and linux version are the same, so if that config work on linux, then it should work on windows too (except for “transparant proxy”, this feature is not available on windows version yet).

you’ll need to change the path of the whitelist file into something like “C:\squid\conf\whitelist” and makesure it’s readable
