Hi,
Until recently I used squid proxy 2.72 32bit on windows xp machine. We
finally switched to 64-bit windows10. I copied the old squid proxy to
windows10 with saved settings (just for test, we were short with time
for new install). It basically works but there are some problems.
I wanted to install newer squid proxy version for windows even earlier,
but the lack of support for windowsxp prevented me.
In the meantime, i found the v4 version of the squid proxy for windows
10. It taked my attention.
I learned to make the most important settings in the config file, but I
still don't know a lot.
I have some questions:
1) how do I configure forbidden access to sites (facebook, youtube) for
certain ip addresses from the LAN network? a couple of simple examples
would help?
see <https://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl>
2) proxy functions work nicely but sometimes the squid proxy "locks up"
and there is no data flow for 2-3 minutes. It usually helps to wait or
restart the service. How to prevent this? The internet link is good,
probably a problem with hidden bugs in the squid proxy or wrong settings
(how to increase stability)?
This being Squid-2 it could be quite a lot of things that have long ago
been solved and forgotten about. First thing to do is try an upgrade.
3) number of simultaneous connections per client and globally, How to
set up win10 64bit, specifically for squid proxy service? If i need to
configure the OS as well, ask me how.
Windows APIs used by Squid-2 have a hard limit that cannot be changed.
4) how to turn off caching. The idea is to just redirect http traffic
and always ask/force latest version of site online? No need to make a
local copy/cache, just raw proxy between lan and ether/internet.
In Squid-2:
cache deny all
cache_mem 0
cache_dir /dev/null parent 0
In modern Squid just remove any cache_dir you have.
note: all of the above issues and issues are related to version 2.72. If
v4.14 64-bit version that I downloaded from diladele site yesterday
works better and not have problems, then great. In any case, a couple of
examples for squid.conf would help me, I would be very grateful.
Squid-2 is HTTP/1.0 software which is 5+ years obsolete now.
Go with the Diladele Squid-4, it is modern HTTP/1.1 software and most of
the help you will be able to get relies on features only found in the
Squid-3+ releases.
