Dear Friends, I am a newbie to reverse proxy. i have a squid installed and i need your help for my "squid.conf". I want to make a REVERSE proxy. The system set-up is, APACHE web server and SQUID proxy server on ONE system or (installed on the same computer). Please help me guys, i want to make my squid.conf run.

thanks in advance,

hi! try start your adventure using this guide. This guide has a dedicated section on how to run both reverse proxy and web server in same pc.

If you face any issues feel free to post them here.

#1 is in a better forum, but #2 already has an answer.

Perhaps close #1 & move #2?

Moved: This thread is more suitable in <Server> and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves. I second the notion of closing the dupe that was placed in server later on.

i have googled already about this reverse proxy. it took me days to run my basic squid.conf ..uhm, i need a reference conf to make sure that im making a secured reverse proxy.
i will post here my squid.conf. can you please check it guys?

thanks, for the help.

using squid as a reverse proxy server

Would some kind soul, more tactful, patient, & knowledgable than I, please take pity on this sincere newcomer & explain about senseless bumping & putting .conf files in "Code:" blocks, as well as ask for the clarifications necessary to start answering the OQ.
