Hi all,
don't know where to direct this post specifically, so thought I'd start
here and if need be someone can redirect me to a more appropriate
formum.
We have installed and configured Ubuntu Server 6.04. (There is an issue
with 7.04 and the scsi card in the server we are using) We installed and
configured Shorewall firewall (current as of 29/8/07, installed by
"apt-get install shorewall", so I suspect it is 4.X)and Dansguardian
with these instructions from this link:
http://www.branchdistrictlibrary.org/professional/ubuntu_and_dansguardia
n_page_3.php
With a little bit of extra configuring due to differences in squid
versions, we got things running nicely and now the kids at the school we
are doing this for are protected from inappropriate material and
attacks. The problem at the moment is that you can go to a web site and
that's fine. But if you try to log onto any website, the browser will
just sit there (after entering the username and password and pressing
enter) and eventually (10 min or more) complain it can't find the
server. I suspect that it is a port issue. If you have a look through
the instruction from the link I have mentioned, then you'll see that
port 443 for https is opened up for use to the net. Do logon pages use
another port? If we redirect the browsers to the old proxy, the logon
pages are instant, so I'm sure it's a config issue either in shorewall
or Ubuntu.
Thanks in advance,
Mike B
