Hi, I’ve got problem with this. I’d like to browse internet using proxy on docean VPS. However my real ip address is static I used it instead of hostname in your configuration like acl localnet src xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx . Other stuff I’ve kept as it is. After I configured my browser and tried to open web page, but instead of page I see proxy warning message which says “Access Denied”. Any suggestions?

@arlevins: Try restarting squid – does that fix it?

thanx a lot!

I am unable to access /etc/squid/squid.conf it says permission denied

@proxyjatt: Make sure you’re running the commands as root.

when i access internet with firefox with my proxy it says

Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect.

@proxyjatt: What’s the output of <pre>cat /etc/squid/squid.conf | curl -F ‘sprunge=<-’ http://sprunge.us</pre>?

http://sprunge.us/XiQO

@celson.simon: Are you experiencing the same problem as @proxyjatt? Whose IP is 177.34.208.118?

this is my IP. Yes I have the same problem.

My source IP.

Same error as above Access Denied.

I got same error (Access Denied), I did below solution to fix that error:

I removed the line: request_header_access All deny all

and change http_access deny all to http_access allow all

how to install squid proxy in centos using the virtual box?what are the commands used?

@juvilyn.porol: Simply follow this article and it should work fine. Make sure you forward the port squid listens on to the host.

If you need to create ACL you have to do it in two places at Squid.

Restricting Web Access By Time - <pre>

Add this to the bottom of the ACL section of squid.conf

acl home_network src 192.168.10.0/24 (replace this ip with your lan IP block) acl business_hours time M T W H F 9:00-17:00 acl RestrictedHost src 192.168.10.23

Add this at the top of the http_access section of squid.conf

http_access deny RestrictedHost http_access allow home_network business_hours </pre>

Restricting Access to specific Web sites -

Create below files. Use touch /usr/local/etc/allowed-sites.squid

Use nano to edit <pre>

File: /usr/local/etc/allowed-sites.squid

www.openfree.org linuxhomenetworking.com

File: /usr/local/etc/restricted-sites.squid

www.porn.com illegal.com </pre>

Once done <pre>

Add this to the bottom of the ACL section of squid.conf

acl home_network src 192.168.10.0/24 acl business_hours time M T W H F 9:00-17:00 acl GoodSites dstdomain “/usr/local/etc/allowed-sites.squid” acl BadSites dstdomain “/usr/local/etc/restricted-sites.squid”

Add this at the top of the http_access section of squid.conf

http_access deny BadSites http_access allow home_network business_hours GoodSites </pre> IN the ACL you definned the name what you wont to make.

Error acces denied… please help me!

@alexanderraiback: At what point are you getting that error?

i want site same like this Playit.pk what i do ?

Perfect…!!

add this line to .conf file:

http_access allow all

The example crontab is every minute, not every hour (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?crontab(5))

Just use ‘@hourly’ to get hourly runs, or ‘1 * * * *’ for timing
