Hi all, I have installed a Squid proxy (2.7 windows) in a VMware (8.0.4) with NAT networking [1]. The proxy is working inside VMware correct but cannot be accessed from the host network. I think I've to use port forwarding in VMware and tried these settings, - port forwarding in VMware [2], - host-browser [3], - squid.conf [4]. I hope someone can help me and I appreciate any advice.
Port forwarding NAT is only required when the networks have overlapping IP ranges and require NAT to fix that problem. Regular routing should work fine.
Cheers, Farkas [1] network: vmnet8 subnet: 192.168.88.0 mask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.88.2 ip: 192.168.88.128 [2] Port forwarding in VMware (version 8.0.4): -- host port: 3128 type: tcp vm: 192.168.88.128:3128 allow active FTP allow any org. unique identifier config port 0 (?)

Browser is connecting to localhost (127.0.0.1 or ::1) not one of the 192.* ranges. This might be the probem. It should be pointing at an IP:port of the proxy.

You don't need the 255.255.255.255 bits here.
