Transparent Squid Proxy in Ubuntu
 

Hi,

I'm mon webmaster/developer and I'm new in Linux. Our office suddenly needs to setup a proxy server. Ubuntu Squid proxy server immediately came as an option for us. The question is: does transparent squid proxy configuration using Ubuntu will have no problem with computers running on Windows OS?

Thanks in advance.. Sorry if this is a very noob question.

No there will be no problems with your Windows clients.

Squid Proxy And DHCP Server
 

Thank you Peter.

It seems like I'm having problem with my transparent squid proxy server. I was able to configure my ubuntu server as a DHCP server but was not successful in giving Internet connection to the clients. My squid proxy and DHCP server is in the same machine.

I followed the instructions for my squid config on this article but with no success: http://www.ivankristianto.com/os/ubu...ent-proxy/648/

Below is my interfaces configuration:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1
mtu 1492

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1
mtu 1492


My Router IP Address: 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

I got my dhcpd configuration in: http://www.ivankristianto.com/os/ubu...on-ubuntu/996/

DHCPD Configuration:

ddns-update-style none;

option domain-name "example.org";
option domain-name-servers ns1.example.org, ns2.example.org;

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

log-facility local7;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.200;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
option domain-name "yourdomain.com";
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;

}

Sorry for the long content. Hope this info will help you in helping me in search for solutions.

Thank you.
