I set up a squid proxy server to use with an SSH tunnel and I sort of got it to work for http connections, but it seems so off and on. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I set the proxy on my browser to localhost:3128 and make the ssh tunnel with the windows SSH client.
I want to use it to secure my IM conversations, IRC, etc. so I don't need any of the caching features. But when I try to connect to the proxy using these services it just says it can't connect to the proxy. There's nothing at all about it in the logs of squid or of daemon.log so I can't tell whats going wrong. I know my ssh tunnels are working because I have them set up for other services on the same server and they work fine, but nothing is getting logged for squid. The server is running:
Code:
natezacserver:~# ps -ef|grep squid
root 2332 1 0 Oct23 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/squid -D -sYC
proxy 2335 2332 0 Oct23 ? 00:00:02 (squid) -D -sYC
root 19820 18509 0 08:30 pts/1 00:00:00 grep squid
natezacserver:~# nmap localhost -p 3128
Starting nmap 3.93 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-11-11 08:31 PST
Interesting ports on natezacserver.local (127.0.0.1):
PORT STATE SERVICE
3128/tcp open squid-http
The only thing I can see in daemon.log regarding squid is the rotation of the log files. /var/log/squid/access.log and
My squid.conf can be found here:

Thanks for any help!
