Re: squid transparent proxy forward loop

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thank you so much Matus,

we were indeed missing a DNS service:

Your proxy is already listening on port 80 and 443 for directly
receiving traffic to any domain with a DNS entry of 192.168.0.188.

best,

I have seen other people using this "squid.proxy" as the FQDN of their
proxy. It is likely that your chosen proxy hostname is not unique.

Since this is a reverse-proxy it is best to set this to the FQDN of the
primary website you are proxying.

The above should be https_port and requires the TLS certificate for the
domain being virtual-hosted.

see
<https://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Reverse/HttpsVirtualHosting> which
I added just yesterday.

Move the above custom configuration down to ...

You do not have any definition of Safe_ports above. It should contain at
least 80 and 443 for your proxy.

... here.


You are missing good rules for traffic arriving on the port 3128. The
below "allow all" is very bad.

>     http_access allow all

That should be:

 http_access deny all

Here is your problem. You have not bypassed the traffic Squid is sending
to 127.0.0.1:80.

Traffic to/from localhost does not use global IP addresses such as
192.168.0.188. Thus Squid's attempts to send traffic to Apache is being
looped back into port 3128 by iptables.


What is the point of all this interception anyway?

Your proxy is already listening on port 80 and 443 for directly
receiving traffic to any domain with a DNS entry of 192.168.0.188.
