Hi, I'm new working as the sys admin at this place, and I've found out that there been using a box with linux & squid as a firewall. I'm new working with the Linux Scenario and as far as I've been told Squid has a Web Interface that can be accessed through IE. I haven't been able to do so and I want to found out If that is true, and if is it how should I accessed that web interface. Any FAQ's or How To Links are welcome.

oh that "Webmin squid module" search google or did u mean the cachemgr.cgi that can be accessed from the webinterface.

Also read through "Squid FAQ" (google again) to learn more.

Also you may try the smoothwall or ipcop project (oh google)

Thanks. Had to read 3 different FAQ's to find this : 192.168.xx.xxx:81 or 192.168.xx.xxx:445 using the proxy/firewall IP adress that was all I needed.
