Hi,

Is it possible to redirect the url like abc.com to xyz.com through squid.

Thanks

G’day,

Gods, so many questions.

You can use the ACL type “myport” to create ACLs which match on the http_port line.

There’s freebsd tproxy like support – http://tproxy.no-ip.org/ has patches against freebsd-7.x. The support is in -current and will be freebsd-8.0. Squid doesn’t have support for the FreeBSD tproxy support but my Squid fork, Lusca, has FreeBSD tproxy code.

To allow port 2095 you should look at the Safe_Ports ACL.

Dear Friends:

Any one have idea about creating multiple http proxy ports like
httpdd_port 3128
httpd_port 8080

and giving multi ACLs on multi http_ports…..

Thanks for the advance reply to everyone.

you can prevent spoofing using ipfw firewall rule with verrevpath

Hi,
we are ISP and have to use SQUID PROXY server in FREEBSD with WCCP.but ip spoofing is not possible in FREEBSD.
2)checked same in Linux there we can enable to ip spoofing through Tproxy patch. But we are not getting good perforamce and not able to able to open some of sites.
3)we have almost 100 MBPS and 200 MBPS traffic site where we r planning to put WCCP squid proxy (With WCCP in cisco) either in FREEBSD or linux.

Your suggestion is required for this.

Hi Ghanzkie,

After unzipping the contents from:

tar zxvf squid-2.6.STABLE18.tar.gz

Change the directory to Squid’s Source directory:

cd squid-2.6.STABLE18

Once you are in that directory run the following:

./configure \
–bindir=/usr/local/sbin \
–sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/squid \
–datadir=/usr/local/etc/squid \
–libexecdir=/usr/local/libexec/squid \
–localstatedir=/usr/local/squid \
–enable-removal-policies=heap,lru \
–enable-storeio=diskd,aufs,coss,ufs,null \
–enable-time-hack \
–enable-snmp \
–with-large-files \
–enable-large-cache-files \
–prefix=/usr/local \
–disable-ident-lookups \
–enable-cache-digests \
-–enable-underscores \
-–enable-kill-parent-hack \
-–enable-follow-x-forwarded-for

After that it should be fine.

Hope it helps.
Have fun.

–enable-follow-x-forwarded-for

(4.) If all goes well, run

(5.) We need to tune squid.conf to suit our preferences

cd /usr/local/etc/squid
mv squid.conf squid.default.conf
