Hello all, I am using squid 2.7 as a forward proxy on a windows 2003 server. I need to establish a remote connection to the internet server 188.x.x.x on port 3306 from my local IP 10.1.1.1. (to connect to mysql database) Do I need to use tcp_outgoing_address tag in the config file as marking the port as 'Safe_ports' is not allowing the connection to establish? If not then what should I do? I am trying to find a solution from so many days and still no luck :( Below is my squid acl configuration; acl SSL_ports port 443 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 3306 # remote connection acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access allow Safe_ports http_access allow CONNECT !SSL_ports
