Open Port 51215


Dears,
I m using Redhat 9 squid as a proxy server and all trafic of clients pass through this server. (means this server is the gateway of all clients).

A website chat.mobilinksms.com is for free sms. When i try to connect this chat i recieve this error message

"Dear User, If you are behind a firewall or within a company local area network (LAN), you will need to open outgoing TCP connections to Port 51215 on your proxy server. "

i search a lot on google and find numbers of iptables command and squid parameter but the problem is still there.. plz tell me the exact way of solution.
Best Regardss.

Ramiz

How does this squid server connect to the WAN?
From squid doc's
Code:
If you are using a proxy-level firewall, your client machines are 
probably configured to use the firewall's internal IP address as their proxy server. Your
firewall could also be running in transparent mode, where it automatically picks up outgoing
web requests. If you have a fair number of client machines, you may not relish the idea of
reconfiguring all of them. If you fall into this category, you may wish to put your firewall on
the outside (or on the DMZ) and configure the firewall to pass requests to the cache, rather
than reconfiguring all client machines.
Squid Doc's
http://squid-docs.sourceforge.net/la...66.html#AEN702
What they are saying I think is if you connect to a router or modem that has a firewall put the server on the DMZ zone, then configure iptables on the server.But really not sure, just something to look at.

Hey there, what I think you need to do is add the port, in the squid allowed port range, you
might add an acl similar to the following in squid.conf:

acl Safe_ports port 51215 # unregistered ports

and something similar to:

http_access allow CONNECT Safe_Ports

Anyway, I beleive this is the route to go, to solve your problem.

Regards
