configuring squid


Running squid included in Mandrake 10.2. Apparently squid is needed to use Dansguardian, a web content filter. I have read all the documentation on squid at aerospace, visolve,squid-cache,and as many versions(http,pdf) by as many authors as possible.

Don't know if by default Mandrake alters the application before, during or after install, but my squid.conf file bears practically NO RESEMBLANCE to any of the documentation.

If anyone has configured squid.conf, would appreciate any detailed help.

Thanks

Why don't you start by giving us any useful piece of information like what you are trying to accomplish?

Replace the '192.168.1.x' instances with your local network settings.

oh btw, don't forget to redirect incoming requests with iptables (transparent proxy):

Code:
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
HTH!

squid

Thanks to ixion.
Will try your suggestions this weekend and post back.
Here is my setup if it helps.

Both PCs run MDK 10.2 Would like to keep PC1 filtered from 'net using DG. From what I've read, this setup can be configured a number of ways and I don't know the best/most flexible way.

PC1(192.168.10.1)eth0-> hub <-eth0 PC2(192.168.10.2)eth1 -> DSL modem -> 'net

local ntwrk setup as 'static'---eth1 to modem setup using DHCP

Not once did I read that squid or DG run as services in background. I spent 3 days looking for 'something to happen", like what happens in 99.9999% of applications.

Usually conf files have a bunch of stuff commented out at the beginning of line. This squidconf file has most lines uncommented.

http access and http deny are both listed, and both are uncommented. This implies a conflict. Can only assume file is read from top to bottom and first action? or last action? is taken?

unfortunately, this is non intuitive.

Also, Am assuming I run squid and DG on PC2 only?
Where do iptables fit into this?

This is my default installed squid.conf file and have NOT altered it yet.

http_port 3128
hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ?
acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
no_cache deny QUERY
cache_dir diskd /var/spool/squid 100 16 256
