Ok,
I have added this line of code
acl localnet src 192.168.1.0/24
just above where it lists all the safe ports.
It appears to restart ok with these 2 lines enabled now.
*http_access allow CONNECT wuCONNECT localnet
http_access allow windowsupdate localnet*
Now I thought I might try a test (not with windows yet); I tried to download
an Nvida Driver 223 MB.
I did that on one machine, and once that was complete, I tried it on another
machine . . . it does not appear to be coming from the proxy cache as it is
not any faster.
To be sure I was going through the proxy I set windows explorer connections
to 192.168.1.6 and port 8080 on both machines. and I even changed the last
http_access setting to:
http_access deny all
Which is what it should be.
. . . to make sure it was going through the proxy - and it was because web
access was blocked until I changed it back to
http_access *allow* all
Which is a very strong sign that your configuration is broken.
I tried a smaller file by downloading the latest Firefox install file (about
21 MB) and that was no faster either.
I have a fairly advance router (MikroTik RB450G) that shows all the data
going in & out the WAN cable. It was definitely not drawing from the proxy
the 2nd time.
Any Ideas why it is not caching
Step #1: take the URL and paste it into redbot.org.
That will give you a rundown on whether the resource there is
cacheable to begin with.
Step #2: show us your config file please.
Particularly in light of the fact you think "allow all" is required to
simply pass traffic. I want to audit this config as a whole please.
