Hello, I was trying to get my Local Lan Squid Proxy to connect trough SSL to my dedicated Server on the internet. I have set it up as parent proxy in my squid.conf on my lan by adding : cache_peer externalserverip parent 8080 3130 default ssl sslcert=/etc/ssl/squid.crt sslkey=/etc/ssl/squid.key sslversion=1 I created the squid.crt & squid.key by myself. on the external machine I have added: https_port 8080 cert=/etc/ssl/squid.pem version=1 I have double chceked that the squid user is able to read squid.crt/squid.key & squid.pem My logfiles show the following: Local-Net: 1183806725.866 76 10.224.208.81 TCP_MISS/503 1658 GET http://www.google.de/ - NONE/- text/html 1183806728.094 1420 10.224.208.81 TCP_MISS/503 1475 GET http://www.google.de/ - ANY_PARENT/externalserverip text/html 1183806751.594 0 10.224.208.81 TCP_MISS/503 1658 GET http://www.google.de/ - NONE/- text/html 1183806753.553 1245 10.224.208.81 TCP_MISS/503 1475 GET http://www.google.de/ - ANY_PARENT/externalserverip text/html 1183806754.371 0 10.224.208.81 TCP_MISS/503 1658 GET http://www.google.de/ - NONE/- text/html 1183806756.203 1389 10.224.208.81 TCP_MISS/503 1475 GET http://www.google.de/ - ANY_PARENT/externalserverip text/html Remote-Squid: 1183813893.412 0 homeip UDP_MISS/000 42 ICP_QUERY http://www.google.de/ - NONE/- - 1183813895.432 0 homeip UDP_MISS/000 205 ICP_QUERY http://sb.google.com/safebrowsing/update?client=navclient-auto-ffox&appver=2.0.0.4&version=goog-white-domain:1:23,goog-white-url:1:371,goog-black-url:1:12236,goog-black-enchash:1:28736 - NONE/- - 1183813917.852 0 homeip UDP_MISS/000 42 ICP_QUERY http://www.google.de/ - NONE/- - 1183813918.852 0 homeip UDP_MISS/000 42 ICP_QUERY http://www.google.de/ - NONE/- - 1183813921.252 0 homeip UDP_MISS/000 42 ICP_QUERY http://www.google.de/ - NONE/- - 1183813926.912 0 homeip UDP_MISS/000 44 ICP_QUERY http://ocsp.thawte.com/ - NONE/- - The Browser shows the following error : While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.google.de/ The following error was encountered: Connection to parentproxyip Failed The system returned: (71) Protocol error The remote host or network may be down.
