Basic Squid Proxy Server Tutorial Part 3 of 3

Final step to configure and share Internet connection with Squid Proxy on a server with 2 NIC's. We explain a little about iptables so it can jump and masquerade the workstations. Also, 2 things I forgot to mention which I added an annotation at the end of the video

1. Pls. don't forget to edit your /etc/squid/squid.conf and put:

http_port 3128 transparent

3128 is the Squid's port number. Transparent means you don't have to manually specify the proxy server on each workstation so that if you have 20 clients you don't have to go to each one of them.

2. Pls. also make sure that your client's /etc/resolv.conf is pointing to your router or dns-nameserver that is add this line anywhere in that file.

nameserver 192.168.0.254

192.168.0.254 - is the router's IP address. Good luck!

@click4me2009 - if you can't learn it for yourself, I think you'll have more problems down the road, you don't have to send a hdd to me, lol. You can do it, just believe in yourself. :)

Hello

Great tutorial for novice like me. Got question, Does it also work in fedora 11?. If yes how?

Thanks in advance.

@rnlrn092784 - Yes, Squid is not OS dependent, except Windows. I haven't tried Fedora myself so I can't say anything about it, but I'm sure the tutorial still applies once you have it installed.

hey any one know how i can share my buddys connection he lives in another state is it any way i can surf on his internet

[BugsVHumans]

@trayemily - Yes you can do that, but I doubt it will be fast, I don't know how to do it, but learning about Bypassing Firewalls and Connecting To Your Private Proxy Server is the place to start. I saw a lot of good tutorials about these in both Windows and Ubuntu.

Very good. Well explained and useful.

@MasterBot300 - Hi, do you have a firewall on your server? Make sure to TURN IT OFF for now. Also, without even talking about Squid Proxy Server, can you share files between your "host" and your virtualbox "guest" machine? Make sure you build these structures first before touching those interfaces. Constantly ping the machines, every step of the way to "isolate" where things are getting wrong.
