I just installed Squid V3. I set up putty to ssh socks proxy to my vps that I installed squid on.
Here is a snippet of my cache.logs, but there is no cache log of websites I have visited. The access.log is empty.
How to I tell if squid is working?

If your browser works through it, and no errors appear while accessing sites during your browser is configured for the squid server then it should be running fine.

| Posted by harimau, 04-05-2009, 06:33 AM | | how do you set it up ?
and how do you use it with your browser ?

| Posted by turbowarp, 04-05-2009, 08:55 AM | | I am not sure how to check if my browser is working through squid. Prior to installing squid I proxy surfed via this vps through ssh tunnel.
Now that I have installed squid, there is no change. Putty is forwarded through destination port 8080 and squid is set to http_port 8080. My browser is set socks5 port 8080.
When ssh is running I successfully tunnel to the internet. When ssh is not running, I don't get to the internet.
But, I don't think that I am going through the proxy either, because I don't see anything in the logs.

Check your configuration on squid and add this :
on your acls
and
on your http_access line
On your browser change your proxy setting to http proxy with your vps IP and port

However, I am not able to access https sites.

| Posted by harimau, 04-05-2009, 12:42 PM | | use the same proxy for your https / ssl access on your browser
|
| Posted by turbowarp, 04-05-2009, 12:54 PM | | I do have the same proxy and port ... when I try to surf to a https site it says access denied.
|
| Posted by harimau, 04-05-2009, 01:09 PM | | you should put your acl along with another acl and http_access with another http_access
for your http_access try to move it after this word
or after http_access deny !Safe_ports

Thanks for the help.
