Hello! Thank you in advance for your help. I have a fairly simple home network setup. I have a modem (192.168.2.254) that connects to the internet. Connected to that modem through its own wan port I have an openwrt router (192.168.1.1). My internal network is the 192.168.1.0/24 one. On the router I have connected an ubuntu 13.10 box (192.168.1.20) that acts as a squid proxy and dns among other things. The ubuntu box has one network card. I had successfully installed a transparent squid proxy by using DNAT and SNAT on the router using the 12.04 version of ubuntu. Because of some problems with my ups I tried to install ubuntu 13.10 which solved the ups problem but also upgraded the squid package to 3.3.8 from 3.1.something . My squid configuration is as follows: #--Squid server 192.168.1.20--------------------------------------------------- acl localnet src 192.168.1.0/24 acl SSL_ports port 443 acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl squid-prime dstdomain "/etc/squid3/squid-prime.acl" acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localhost manager http_access deny manager http_access deny squid-prime http_access allow localnet http_access allow localhost http_access deny all http_port 3128 #HAVE tried transparent and intercept but the problem persists coredump_dir /var/spool/squid3 refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0 refresh_pattern (Release|Packages(.gz)*)$ 0 20% 2880 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 dns_nameservers 8.8.8.8 #have tried to use the local dns 127.0.0.1 but the same problem #------------------------------------------------------- I have tried disabling the dns server of ubuntu because I have heard of some problem it can cause to squid.
