2005-04-18 Thread Ben Wylie
On our webserver I have some pages which I want you to have to log on, to be able to access them. This is done by setting the permissions on the files so that only a particular user (not iusr_server which is the anonymous web user). When not using the proxy it pops up a box and prompts you for a us

[squid-users] DNS/Domain Blocklists

2005-04-16 Thread Ben Wylie
Thanks for all of your advice so far. Using the latest stable SquidNT 2.5, I've been trying to set up some content filtering. First of all, for advertisements, but then to block porn and illegal/undesirable sites for our own network. I managed to get various lists of domain names, and wrote a per

2005-04-15 Thread Ben Wylie
I think the answer is no, but I'd like to check anyway. I got this from a Squid FAQ: http://www.unix.org.ua/squid/FAQ-4.html#ss4.10 = We would like to use Squid, but we need it to use socks to connect to the world outside our firewall. No changes are necessary t

[squid-users] Multiple SquidNT services

2005-04-14 Thread Ben Wylie
Sorry, I have another question. I have managed to install two different services using different config files and different ports, but I can't run them at the same time. I am using the same cache - is this a problem? Is there a way to get multiple services running using the same cache dir? Thanks

[squid-users] SquidNT - Running it for the first time

2005-04-12 Thread Ben Wylie
I've just tried to install SquidNT and have tried to run it for the first time. I don't know whether SquidNT is supported on this list at all, but in case it is, I will try my luck. The installation I was using was: squid-2.5.STABLE9-NT-bin-SSL.zip I have set all of the settings in squid.conf. My

[squid-users] Alternative DNS server

2005-04-11 Thread Ben Wylie
I am thinking of installing Squid as a caching http proxy. I have just installed a DNS server (TreeWalk) which not only caches the DNS queries, but apparently it makes sure that the servers it polls for DNS records are authoritative, meaning that it is safer and less likely to be subject to DNS poi
