Re: squid-users Digest, Vol 109, Issue 19

Hi Team,

[Question]: Are you trying to bump TLS client connections when and only when the TLS 
client is offering to use one of those ciphers in its ClientHello 
message? Or do you want Squid to use one of those ciphers when bumping 
all TLS client connections? Or something else? Please clarify.
[Answer]: In our case client is offering these two ciphers(ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 & ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256) in Client Hello but squid is failing to complete handshake with client while performing SSL-Bump.
We have attached logs and network capture. 
[Question]: FWIW, to restrict Squid use of ciphers on accepted TLS client 
connections, use the http_port (or https_port) "cipher" option. For 
example,

     https_port 3129 ssl-bump ... \
         cipher=DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
[Answer]: We dont want to restrict to use this specific ciphers only. We wanted that Squid should use strong ciphers. 
One more point I wanted to add here is that this issue is getting reproduced with latest squid also.

Hello,Thank you so much for your reply.1- Regarding security, what parameters should be changed or added in the configuration file?

 2- How to configure Squid-cache?service for 1000 clients?

Squid is a complex piece of software, which is deployed in a vast number of scenarios, some are simpler and some are intensely adversarial and trickier.Securing squid is similar to any other public-facing complex service; it's unfortunately not something?that can be explained with a few tips.
Regarding how many users Squid can support at the same time, it really depends, mostly on the hardware, services configuration, and user behaviour. On modern hardware, Squid can generally support many users, in the order of several thousands
Squid is not a firewall, on most modern Unix-like operating systems, including Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD, that role can be fulfilled by the underlying operating system

Hello,I have some questions:1- What tips should be considered to keep Squid-cache safe?

2-?How strong is Squid-cache? How many users can use it at the same time?
3-?Can Squid-cache?also play the role of a firewall? Something like the Microsoft ForeFront TMG Replacement or the Kemp LoadMaster.

Thank you._______________________________________________

First steps with a new Squid install are to check in squid.conf for the
"acl localnet" lines and adjust so it lists your LAN ranges. The common
ones are listed there by default.

Then look for the "http_access" directive. That is the primary means of
telling Squid what the network policy needs are.

Apart from the above (1) answer, Squid does not care about number of
clients it will serve as many as your machine can handle. Until the
hardware overloads the CPU, RAM or disks capacity limits.


For good advise we will need details...

  Forward or Reverse proxy installation?
  LAN or WAN clients?

  What policies do you need to comply with regarding client use of the
proxy, or access to any special websites?


Cheers
Amos
