Dear All, I know this is not a new issue in this mailing list, and im sorry to arise this issue again. I have a private network which only has private Ipv4 address and has no gateway to the internet. I have created a one proxy server using squid ver 2.6. The topology is as shown in below figure: (USERS)--------[ProxyLocal]--------[ParentProxy]----Internet PC I have configured my local proxy to forward every request to the Parent Proxy since in my private network, it has no direct connection or NAT to reach Internet. My HTTP request is working fine with the current configuration, below is my configuration in squid.conf: ------------------------------Configuration start---(part)-------------- cache_peer 172.16.51.7 parent 8080 3130 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0 ::/0 never_direct allow all acl manager proto cache_object acl localsite src 172.16.51.0/24 2001:d30:1214::/48 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 ::1/128 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 ::/126 acl SSL_ports port 443 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager # Deny requests to unknown ports http_access deny !Safe_ports # Deny CONNECT to other than SSL ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports -----------------------------------------------------------------------end When I try to access some https website, it returns below errors: The proxy server is refusing connections Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. * Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct. * Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. And I also tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log, but I didn't see any error message, seems like the squid did not receive any request..... Before sending this email, I have tried to search the solution fron the http://www.squid-cache.org/mailing-lists.html and i able to find many achieves which related to my problem, but none of their solutions could solve my problem. Hope I can get some help here. Thanks in advance!!! Best regards, Simon Teh
