Hello,
i am a newbee and i am having trouble with squid.
Can i control ports other then 80 via squid. What i mean is: can i describe in squid.conf file which user can use which ports? My configuration is below:

I have configured iptables and squid using this howto document: (... there was an url but the system did not let me send a url as i am new here )

I modified the lines in squid.conf as it said in the howto document as following .

httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

i have described an acl list as fallows

acl diger src "/etc/hdayi/diger"

and let them access:

http_access allow diger

and in iptables:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

With this configuration only http port (80) works(no other ports works 21, 443 etc.). But i want to control other ports too.

I believe that i can make o port description like:

acl my_ports port 80 1863 ...

and doing this:

http_access allow diger my_ports

and in iptables i must redirect the necessary ports to 3128 (to squid).
I am doing this but i

Thx.

hi there... i see it's been over a week and you haven't gotten a reply yet, so this is more of a friendly bump than anything else... i just wanted to remind you that not all types of connections can be transparently proxied... some things you will HAVE to do in a normal non-transparent manner...

but yeah, you should in fact have an ACL for port numbers...

for example, the one on my parent's PC (accessed via localhost) looks like:firefox has been told not to proxy port 443 on their box, and port 8080 is there just because several of the websites they use are listening on that port for whatever reason...
