squid configuration + allow ports

minim · 12-20-2010, 06:19 AM

Hello Guys,

Have configured squid in routing server and it works fine. Able to block sites and allowed all http request to pass through squid so able to monitor http traffic. And the downloads from linux machine like wget, ftp, etc.. and from windows download manager cannot be monitored which is drawback right now. In squid is it possible to allow ports like ssh, ftp etc so that it can also be monitored? If so need some spark ideas on it.

Thanks in advance

squid is an http proxy, it has nothing to do with ssh and other services. You need to be clear on what services are relevant to what. Squid can't just magically "monitor" any of the vast myriad of network protocols that exist, it is for http traffic.

You can use wireshark or iptraf

wireshark is not a monitoring tool in any way.
