Hi all, At the moment I'm using 2 NIC (1 for external connected to ADSL modem / router) and 1 for internal network. External ethernet = eth0 (192.168.1.4) Internal ethernet = eth1 (192.168.0.4) Client IP = 192.168.0.20 I've installed Squid3 proxy server and use non-transparent mode. I've opened port 5222 (for GChat). Also configure Google Chat software to use HTTP Proxy: 192.168.0.4:8090; I still unable to connect to Google Chat. This is snippet of my squid.conf: http_port 8090 ... logformat LOGS (%{%d/%b %H:%M:%S}tl) (%Ss/%Hs/%Sh) (%>a=>%la) (%ru) %mt-%<stbytes %trms access_log /var/log/squid3/access.log LOGS ... acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 acl InternalNetworks src 192.168.0.0/24 ... acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https acl Safe_ports port 5222 # GChat acl Safe_ports port 5050 # YM acl Safe_ports port 11004 # YM acl Safe_ports port 1863 # MSN ... http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access allow InternalNetworks ... htcp_access deny all http_access deny all My access log: (30/Jun 07:23:13) (TCP_DENIED/403/NONE) (192.168.0.20=>192.168.0.4) (talk.l.google.com:5222) text/html-2008bytes 0ms (30/Jun 07:23:13) (TCP_DENIED/403/NONE) (192.168.0.20=>192.168.0.4) (talk3.l.google.com:5222) text/html-2011bytes 0ms (30/Jun 07:23:13) (TCP_DENIED/403/NONE) (192.168.0.20=>192.168.0.4) (talk2.l.google.com:5222) text/html-2011bytes 0ms (30/Jun 07:23:13) (TCP_DENIED/403/NONE) (192.168.0.20=>192.168.0.4) (talk1.l.google.com:5222) text/html-2011bytes 0ms (30/Jun 07:23:13) (TCP_DENIED/403/NONE) (192.168.0.20=>192.168.0.4) (talk4.l.google.com:5222) text/html-2011bytes 0ms (30/Jun 07:23:13) (TCP_DENIED/403/NONE) (192.168.0.20=>192.168.0.4) (gmail.com:5222) text/html-1984bytes 0ms Can anyone give me a hint on why squid still disable port 5222 even after I open it? (please note, I've restarted the squid3 server but the problem still exists) I believe my iptable rules are okay, because Squid can detect requests from my client ip (192.168.0.20 => 192.168.0.4) Thanks Johannes
