Well I'm playing around a bit with squid but I'm getting kind of lost with all the different names.

I want to setup a proxy so someone can login to 1 (and only that) particular site with my IP address. My setup is like this:

internet (with specific person) - wireless router - computer connected wirelessly

So which tutorials do I have to look into now? The ones for transparent proxying or so? I need to set it up so that the other IP adress can't be seen so only mine.

I tried webmin stuff but if you don't know what to do in there it's kind of pointless too.

Thanks for any pointers that make this a bit clearer

would you PLS provide some more info about how you wishes to
set up your LAN.

PLS try reading the configuration file throughly - its properly documented. also try to find out the
docs provided with the squid in /usr/share/doc/squid- or where the docs might have installed.
you will find a minimal conf changes that is needed to run squid initially.

and for transparent proxies you just run the squid in the WAN interface of the server and redirect
all trafic from your LAN interface (server's) to 3128 port of that WAN interface. you have to use
iptables/ipchains for that..

for allowing/blocking use squid's ACL.

bye.....

forgot to tell you try having a look at the following site

www.siliconvalleyccie.com

you will find it there.

Well the problem is I don't know what tutorial I search or what it's called. I tried reading through the conf file and edited stuff but as I'm not knowing if I do the right things or how to set some things things go wrong.

I figured out all the things you mentioned before but I don't think it's what I'm looking for. The access control sounds good and I'm going to use that.

Like I said I want one person to be able to use my IP address to login for one site and I want it via squid

Cause that's the only way I can think of that doesn't allow the person access to my PC itself so he's just passing through. That's all. Nothing special for the local network as I'm perfectly fine with my internet now. I don't need no caching stuff, as far as I know I don't need to connect to other proxy servers. I thought this was just called getting a proxy up but there seem to be a few more names like transparent proxy.

The problem is that I can't find a proper howto that doesn't try to set all things like caching and other stuff. I simply want everything turned off, except http access to that single site. If I do a search on proxy squid it always directs me to tutorials for a local network but I don't think that's what I'm looking for. Cause I want someone from outside my network to use my IP address. In my network I'll just go directly to the internet.

Well I read through that site too and it's simply not what I want. It's all about the home networking stuff. And another question it's possible with those acls to only allow access to one site right?

Bump didn't found any new stuff out. Can anyone help me a bit?

hello!

neither did i find any helpful docs in the net.

i worked studying the conf file and the doc that is installed with the packge.

some things - in the docs section you will find a minimal changes that are needed to start Squid.

though one wont need the "cache peer" section to be configured. as its for
maintaining heirarchical structure of proxies. link:

proxy ------> proxy -------> proxy
| | |
| | |
client client client

so you i think obviously dont need it.

as far as i have interpreted your requiement you may still do it with
iptables. if that specific ip is static you can select it and then decide
whether to bolck it or pass it through.

bye......

Well I'll play a bit further with squid as someone else said I could use squid for it too. He didn't know how to do it either. Problem is that the person doesn't have static IP. I think I saw a thread on here that had some other options in it that I might want to try.

Anyway I'm now just going to start at the beginning just getting it up and recognized and play further.

Would with iptables just mean forwarding from one port to the http port? And without the real IP being send?

no - ofcourse not - you can specify Source IP and Destination IP with Iptables.

any way - sorry for not continuing - as i am busy with my solaris. its giving me
pain.

sorry again. and you can do the same with Squid.
