Hi Team, I setup an apache web server and squid3 running on the same machine . But when I try to access the web-server pages from client machine, I always ended up in the ERR_CONNETC_FAIL error. I tried all the alternatives and configurations from Google , but it was not helping me to solve the issue.

Without tproxy rules, webserver is working like Gem. I really don't know what is going on and What I did wrong. Please help me since I m new to squid. Regards, Saravanan N
