Does Remote Desktop Connection work through Squid?


Hello All,

I am using Squid as my proxy, my proxy ip is 192.168.1.240 port 3128.

I had configured this ip and port in internet explorer, to access internet,in all of my clients machines. My Problem is all of my clients are saying they are not able to connect Computers (not internal)through Remote Desktop Conection.

I havent block the port number 3389 in Squid or in iptables.

Is Squid allow Remote Desktop Connection to external ip network (eg:-200.X.X.X)?

I need to connect my External System Remotely (200.x.x.x) through Squid. Is it possible.?

Thanks

Anu

First, check the RDC documentation and verify that it's supposed to work through a proxy server (in order to avoid spending time/energy pointlessly). Once you've confirmed that, have a look at Squid's access log when an attempt to use RDC is made. That should give you an idea of where to start with regards to changes you need to make to your squid.conf (which I'm assuming is the same squid.conf we're still waiting to see here). Feel free to post the relevant access log snippets here if you like, so that members may provide you with feedback. If RDC won't work through a proxy, you'll need to enable IP forwarding and set up some iptables rules (we'll cross that bridge when we get there). BTW, I'm moving this to Networking, as it's not a security issue.
