Re: [squid-users] Squid performance in the tank.

Where there was only just a firewall between the proxy and the Internet now there is a routing switch a router and a firewall between the server and the Internet. There is a specific rule on the new firewall, much as on the old one, that allows HTTP(S) traffic to/from our proxy so that should not be an issue. Honestly, I'm just looking for a way to dig into the guts of squid a little deeper to get some performance information and unearth where the slowdown is occurring. When you ping and traceroute your squidbox from various points on your network, does it show anything weird? What about ping and traceroute from your squid box to sites on the internet? cheers, D.Radel.

The WU issues probably needs expanding upon in the FAQs I guess. :-) Thanks in advance. Dietrich The relevant squid.conf settings I know of are: http_access and range_offset. Earlier posts here in squid-users or google may have better details. I have just added a FAQ page (http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/WindowsUpdate) with the content of this thread. Amos Brilliant! Thanks. :-) Dietrich
Re: [squid-users] windows update through squid -- sharing experience
Jigar Raval wrote: Hello All, I would like to share my experience about windows updtate service pack 2 and latest version through proxy. We have observed if Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack2 has automatica update is enable than squid was not allowing to update windows. We had a lot of communication with microsoft but we could not get proper solution. We were trying by different option. We format our system and installed with Windows XP service Pack1 and turn off automatic update and tried to update and we got succeed. Then, we turn off the window automatic update option and try to update, the system updated successfully. Those who have windows update problem, with squid kindly try. If anyone has some different experience,kindly give me suggestion. Thank you. Jigar With SP2, to force Automatic Updates to use the proxy server, use the Windows command proxycfg -u to force AU to use IE browser proxy settings. You can also specify the proxy server manually using the -p switch. The -d switch returns it to default direct access setting. If you have a large number of PCs behind the proxy, WSUS server (a free download from MS for Windows Server 2003) could be an option to save bandwidth and to control what updates are applied. We still use SUS server (it's currenly still receiving new updates even though no longer supported) and tell the AU clients where to get updates via a registry key that is set by group policy.
