Okay, then please simply post the current squid.conf first -- chances are, it sounds like its not configured correctly, between that, and your browser configuration. --------------------------------------------- Chad E.

This is my first linux box and I created it precisely to use it as a Squid Proxy.

Firstly, you should probably compile an updated version of Squid, using either the 2.7 or 3.1 branch from http://www.squid-cache.org, and then install it. That version of Squid is probably only current for your install of CentOS. Then post your configuration, it should be under /etc/squid, called squid.conf. --------------------------------------------- Chad E.

Naugle Tech Support II, x. 7981 Travel Impressions, Ltd. >>> Charles Roper <charlzroper@xxxxxxxxx> 12/28/2010 12:33 PM >>> Hello, I'm using Squid Proxy to access my home network while I'm away from the house ... I'm running into a bit of trouble with SSL connections. Using just a plain 'ol connection to the internet, occasionally , Firefox will warn me of "Untrusted Connection" on certain websites that I visit. I believe this is due to either invalid SSL certs or self-signed SSL certs. Either way, I do trust these sites ... some of them are my own! I tell Firefox that it's ok and it will let me view the sites as normal. The problem arises when I try to access those same sites through my home Squid Proxy instead of directly connecting to the internet. When I do that, Firefox throws a "Problem loading page error" : ------------------------------ Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 8.8.8.8:2096. * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. ----------------------------- I'm assuming this is a security configuration, but I really need to be able to access those sites through Squid Proxy. For years, I've been using OpenSSH with SpoonProxy (Windows-based) and it worked flawlessly, but this week I thought I'd make the switch to Squid Proxy to see if I noticed any improvements. I did notice many speed improvements, and this is the only problem that I've run into, so I'm hoping you can help me resolve it.
