I'm having a big issue trying to configure squid to allow users to connect only via user/pass. I have 8 ip's on my server and I want each user to be able to connect to a single ip using their credentials but all I get when I try in firefox is this message: "The proxy server is refusing connections" so I must have done something wrong. I'm new to squid. I'm willing to pay for assistance so please contact me if interested. Anyhow, the help is much appreciated. Here's my squid config: http_port 8888 visible_hostname weezie auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid-passwd auth_param basic childred 5 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours acl ncsa_users proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow ncsa_users header_access Allow allow all header_access Authorization allow all header_access WWW-Authenticate allow all header_access Proxy-Authorization allow all header_access Proxy-Authenticate allow all header_access Cache-Control allow all header_access Content-Encoding allow all header_access Content-Length allow all header_access Content-Type allow all header_access Date allow all header_access Expires allow all header_access Host allow all header_access If-Modified-Since allow all header_access Last-Modified allow all header_access Location allow all header_access Pragma allow all header_access Accept allow all header_access Accept-Charset allow all header_access Accept-Encoding allow all header_access Accept-Language allow all header_access Content-Language allow all header_access Mime-Version allow all header_access Retry-After allow all header_access Title allow all header_access Connection allow all header_access Proxy-Connection allow all header_access User-Agent allow all header_access Cookie allow all header_access All deny all acl ip1 myip x.x.x.x tcp_outgoing_address x.x.x.x ip1 acl user1 proxy_auth manilodisan acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 # https acl SSL_ports port 563 # snews acl SSL_ports port 873 # rsync 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 Safe_ports port 631 # cups acl Safe_ports port 873 # rsync acl Safe_ports port 901 # SWAT acl purge method PURGE acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager http_access allow purge localhost http_access deny purge http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localhost http_access deny all icp_access allow all http_port 3128 hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? access_log /var/log/squid/access.log squid acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? cache deny QUERY refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 acl apache rep_header Server ^Apache broken_vary_encoding allow apache extension_methods REPORT MERGE MKACTIVITY CHECKOUT hosts_file /etc/hosts coredump_dir /var/spool/squid
