I've always had best luck using squid only for http and shooting everything else directly through iptables. This way you can basically use any software you want regardless of how it handles proxy connections. Something like this would work for you...
<snip> #!/bin/sh iptables -F iptables -t nat -F iptables -t mangle -F echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -P INPUT DROP # Masqing outgoing and allowing iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE # Allow returning connections iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT # Allow new connections as long as they are not from eth1 iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -i ! eth1 -j ACCEPT # Redirect all traffic on incoming port 80 to Squid server (port 3128). # **Note: This line allows clients to leave out all proxy information # in Internet Explorer - server will handle everything. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 </snip> AE -----Original Message----- From: Rupesh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 9:13 AM To: RedHat Subject: Squid + Yahoo Messenger I have installed Squid 2.4 stable 6 as a proxy, the users on LAN are able to access the Internet through squid. I also want to allow the users to use Yahoo Messenger, when I make the relevant changes in the Proxy Settings of Yahoo Messenger, to use Http Proxy, it fails to connect. How do allow the users to use Yahoo Messenger ?
