I'm having trouble getting Squid setup. I installed squid on a Linux server using yum, and in squid.conf uncommented the "http_port 3128" line. Then I added the lines below:
If you needed to uncomment the http_port line your Squid is probably obsolete before you downloaded it. Which distro are you using? and what Squid release did it give you?
Note; the currently old but supported releases are 2.6 and higher, and the current most-stable production releases are 2.7.STABLE6 and 3.0.STABLE16
# INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM YOUR CLIENTS acl my_pc 123.123.123.123
There is an ACL above with a name and a value, but no type. Try: acl my_pc src 123.123.123.123
http_access allow my_pc (where 123.123.123.123 is my home PC's IP address) After editing squid.conf I restarted squid, not sure if that's necessary. "squid -k parse" returns no errors, and "squidclient http://www.google.com"; works properly. When I setup my browser though, it doesn't work. In IE I enter my server's IP as the proxy address, and 3128 as the port. I also tried "http_access allow all". What am I doing incorrectly, or what step am I missing?
Browser config sounds right. The only questionable things are the Squid release and the ACL I pointed to.
