Squid.conf help
Hi there
I am hoping someone can help me....
I am trying to configure a squid proxy so I can access the internet through my PC from anywhere on the internet.
I have configured squid as a proxy, and this seems to work very well from my internal network, but I cannot access it from anywhere else.
I understand that having an open web proxy can be pretty dangerous, so I have configured it with the ncsa_auth program.
I think the problem lies with the acl lines in the squid.conf
Can anyone shed some light on how I can get access from outside?
I have opened the ports I want to use on my router, so I don't think thats the problem.
Thanks in advance
P.

if you think the problem is in the acl lines, maybe you should actually tell us what the acl lines are??
personally i'd suggest not using squid for this. instead i prefer using just ssh on the server and using putty from windows to make a socks proxy with little configuration on the server side.

sounds to me more like a port forwarding issue off the bat, as you've not mentioned that at all in your post.
