I am truly a newbie to linux as well as computer. I would like to set up squid in my house computer. I have a question which is is it possible to set up squid with only one computer and one network card?
Your help is greatly appreciated by me and others.
A billion thanks to any help or idea and recommendations.
well yes it's totally possible. if you're only using in there, then you shouldn't need to configure anythign at all either, just point your browser proxy at 127.0.0.1:3128 once it's started.
Sorry for stupidness. I really do not understand what u mean. Is it require me to configure the /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network to add the hostname ? If not, then a step by step is needed for me to solve this problem.
squid wants an FQDN as normal. if you don't have a DNS framework for it to derive it from, you can use the visible_hostname option to manually define it. if it doesn't complain, then don't worry about it.
