This denies HTTP traffic to what I defined as "localnet". ... Because
this argument is near the bottom of my config, won't all other ACL's
and lists apply before getting to this deny all rule?

Others have already guided you further, but I will try to correct the above misunderstanding:

* The order of http_access directives matters: Squid evaluates http_access rules in their squid.conf order and applies the first http_access rule that has a matching condition. All subsequent http_access rules are ignored (for that transaction). Here, "to apply" means to allow or deny the transaction (depending on the matching rule action) and "matching condition" means that all ACLs named in that http_access rule have matched the transaction.

* The order of acl directives only matters in special cases for ACLs with side effects. For now, you can probably ignore that order.

* For a given ACL name "foo", it is usually best to keep all "acl foo" directives together and above the first http_access (or any other ACL-using directive) line that uses ACL named "foo".


I thought every statement needs a contradicting statement as well.

No, it does not: N+1 http_access rule is only evaluated if the first/earlier N http_access rules did _not_ match (see the first bullet above), so you effectively get that "contradicting" or "else" effect automatically as Squid moves through http_access rules...

Said that, it is often a good idea to use "http_access deny all" as the very last explicit http_access rule to avoid relying on an ever-changing default/implicit action that is applied when none of the explicit rules matched. That implicit default is "ever-changing" because it depends on the last explicit http_access rule action (which, naturally, may change as folks update their rules).


FWIW, the following FAQ entry covers the same concepts:

I removed all of the special, custom ACL's and we still don't have internal to internal browsing via hostname.

FWIW, these first two http_access rules make all subsequent http_access rules irrelevant/unused because these two rules match all traffic:

http_access deny !localnet
http_access allow localnet

I did not look further, but the above combination is a sign that you interpret http_access rules differently than Squid does. Please make sure you understand why the two rules above make all subsequent http_access rules irrelevant/unused before adjusting your configuration further. Ask questions as needed.


If the primary problem persists after addressing this configuration problem, then my earlier (2024-09-04) recommendation stands: Please restate the primary problem (e.g., detail what "don't have browsing"
means in terms of the test transaction outcome) and share debugging log of that test transaction again.


HTH,

Alex.


So there's something wrong with either the order of the squid.conf or I'm missing some "allow" variable.

Please see below for my current config:

Hello Amos,

While the comments did say that it was just the 10.46.11.0 range, I don't think there's any other ACL forcing that. I tried adding the the two internal sites that are being blocked by their IP, restarted Squid, and tested. Still being blocked. You are right though, both of those web addresses are on a different IP scheme. Ideally we want anything on 172.0.0.0 to be allowed, and 10.96.0.0. The other question I have is, even if we specify those sites IP as "allowed", shouldn't we be able to brwose to them by their hostname as well?


That depends no your configuration policy. The default squid.conf only checks that clients are from the LAN and not doing any nasty protocol trick attacks.



Currently, those internal sites ARE reachable. But only if we use IP. While this doesn't bother me, personally, the rest of our users would like to keep browsing via hostname as that's what they're used to and what many have shortcuts for.


Currently I see the ACL "local_dst_dom" is commented out (disabled).

I guess you also have not listed the hostname or domain in the file loaded by "authless_dst" ACL.




In regards to the results of /etc/resolv.conf, see below:
search ad.arc-tech.com
nameserver 10.46.11.67


Okay. Then the "NDOT" default of 1 will be applied. So for these HTTP
messages:

     CONNECT hexp:443 HTTP/1.1
     Host: hexp
     ...


Will be interpreted by Squid as URL:

    https://hexp/


The "dstdomain" ACL will try to match "hexp" exactly.

The "dst" ACL will try to match IPs of "hexp.ad.arc-tech.com"



There must be a better way to just allow internal to internal traffic without needing to authenticate through the web proxy. The old config had it, but that was part of the issue. We have no idea how that was working, it didn't make sense at all and it was a bit outdated, Version 2.5 as opposed to our current 5.5.

I'm happy to post out config again here, as it's changed a bit and I have cleaned it up.

Unrelated to your problem, but FYI this should probably be much larger (ie 64K minimum, up to 100x expected user count) for a production proxy.

This repeat of "custom" will cause issues.

IIRC this was added misunderstanding of Alex instructions.
What he meant was to **add** "%err_code/%err_detail" to your existing "custom" format.

Like this:

logformat custom %tl.%03tu %>a %Ss/%03>Hs %<st %rm %ru %[un \
       %Sh/%<a %mt %err_code/%err_detail


# Red Hat-ish log names
cache_log /var/log/squid/cache.log
cache_access_log /var/log/squid/access.log

This setting opens a third logger writing to access.log, causing more issues.

Remove this "cache_access_log" line.



# store_log is only useful for debugging cache_store_log none


FYI, off by default on current Squid. You can probably erase this setting entirely now.

FWIW, you have denied access to "dst 127.0.0.0/8". So traffic to this port will be rejected.

FYI; disabled by default in modern Squid. You can remove "icp_port".


# if set to "on", Squid will append your client's IP address in the

"off" will send the text "unknown".

It is better to use "transparent" (pass-thru unchanged) or "delete"

# TCP ports for plain FTP command channel acl ftp_ports port 21

acl methods_std method GET HEAD POST PUT DELETE acl methods_std
method TRACE OPTIONS


Consider removing these ACLs and the extra complexity they create.
Modern HTTP considers many other method names "standard" and current Squid follows the standard-required handling for all of them, and special ones.

# This major section is about which HTTP proxy clients can use Squid
# as an HTTP proxy server.  As opposed to the maintenance/admin-type
# stuff in the previous section.

#
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
------
# basic deny rules
# these block stuff that's never good # we put most denies after
user-auth so we know *who* is trying


Missing basic security to prevent DoS and protocol hijacking attacks:


    http_access deny !Safe_ports
    http_access deny CONNECT !Ssl_ports


You can define Safe_ports like this:

     acl Safe_Ports any-of http_ports Ssl_ports ftp_ports



# block attempts to connect to proxy server via proxy http_access
deny dst_self


Use:
     http_access deny to_localhost



# block clients which are the proxy server machine itself http_access
deny src_self


FYI, there should be nothing wrong with other software running on the proxy machine (eg software updaters) using Squid. They have to obey the same rules an any other client.


# deny anything not from the LAN
http_access deny !from_arc

FYI, we use "localnet" ACL to define the LAN. Makes it a bit easier for others to assist if you use the same. Up to you though.



#
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
------
# allow without authentication
# these rules allow certain connects without user authentication #
these allow any protocol/method/etc

#                 ***** IMPORTANT *****
# Adding to these lists also exempts from all content filtering.
# In particular, executables will be allowed to download!
#                 ***** IMPORTANT *****

# allow connects to local destinations without authentication # by
domain name from URL # acl local_dst_dom dstdomain ad.arc-tech.com
# http_access       allow local_dst_dom
# http_reply_access allow local_dst_dom


You have a domain name whitelist ACL two sections below.
You can remove the above, and list and use the later one for both
"local" and other domains.



# by IP address name resolves to
http_access       allow local_dst_addr
# http_reply_access allow local_dst_addr


Maybe rename "local_dst_addr" to "whitelist_dst_ips" for clarity on
what it is doing.


Which brings up a security issue: When you list the entire LAN range
in this ACL, anyone accessing the proxy is allowed to do whatever they
want to your LAN machines. That includes all LAN **and** WAN connections.

Additionally, the bypass of authentication leaves you no trace that
this was actually a user, and not some infected LAN machine spreading
malware across your LAN. Which is rather risky.


Prefer to keep by-IP whitelist's empty or minimal content.



# allow trusted hosts without authentication # these are just ip's on
the 10.46.11.x network acl authless_src src "/etc/squid/authless_src"
http_access       allow authless_src
# http_reply_access allow authless_src

# allow the following destinations without authentication # list of
random approved websites # whats the advantage of not authenticating?
acl authless_dst dstdomain "/etc/squid/authless_dst"
http_access       allow authless_dst
# http_reply_access allow authless_dst


This should be combined with "local_dst_dom". Just use different lines
like so:

    acl authless_dst dstdomain "/etc/squid/authless_dst"
    acl authless_dst dstdomain .ad.arc-tech.com
    acl authless_dst dstdomain .hexcelssp.com hexcelssp

    http_access allow whitelist


# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# block before authentication
# these rules block certain connects without user authentication
# done for software which handles proxy auth requests badly
# for example, popping up many auth prompts
# this does mean we cannot whitelist for users

# blocked destinations, by host or domain, before authentication
# websites that are auto-deny
acl bad_domains_preauth dstdomain "/etc/squid/bad_domains_preauth"
http_access deny bad_domains_preauth

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# require proxy authentication

# ********************************************************************
# * anything past this point requires users to authenticate to proxy *
# ********************************************************************

# Uncomment these lines to disable authentication requirement for all
# but a few test boxes.  Useful if NTLM gets broken.
# acl from_test_boxes src 10.2.1.5
# http_access allow !from_test_boxes from_arc


FYI, you have "deny !from_arc" earlier above.

This is simpler and does the same thing as the above line:

     # http_access allow !from_test_boxes


# block clients which are not authenticated
# http_access deny !authenticated


You named the ACL "kerb-auth", not "authenticated".


# block certain user IDs from using proxy server
# list of ad users and service accounts to automatically deny proxy
acl block_user proxy_auth_regex -i "/etc/squid/block_user"
http_access deny block_user


I suggest this to prevent re-login loop for these forbidden services:

    http_access deny !kerb-auth
    http_access deny block_user all



# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# it will get confused with .com domain and block too many things
acl exec_files url_regex -i "/etc/squid/exec_files"

Consider using the "urlpath_regex" ACL type instead. It does not match
against the scheme://domain:port part of URLs.



# usernames not to block
acl exec_users proxy_auth_regex -i "/etc/squid/exec_users"

# activate

# list of sites for this
acl mmedia_sites dstdomain "/etc/squid/mmedia_sites"

# if a mmedia user attempts to access a mmedia site via appropriate protocols, allow it
# done for both HTTP/TCP/80 and HTTP/SSL/443

http_access       allow methods_std    proto_HTTP http_ports mmedia_sites mmedia_users
# tp_reply_access allow methods_std    proto_HTTP http_ports mmedia_sites mmedia_users

http_access       allow method_CONNECT            ssl_ports  mmedia_sites mmedia_users
# http_reply_access allow method_CONNECT            ssl_ports  mmedia_sites mmedia_users


FYI, Websites like YouTube can dynamically negotiate the media source
ports to be non-standard values using Alt-Svc headers.

If you had the default security settings at the top of your http_access
rules:

    http_access deny !Safe_ports
    http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_Ports

... you would not need to make (bad) assumptions about the protocols and
ports used by media sites here.

Also, "mmedia_users" being last on the line risks a 407 re-auth
challenge occuring. Best place it earlier.


Leaving these rules as:

      http_access allow mmedia_users mmedia_sites



# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

acl bad_types rep_mime_type -i "/etc/squid/bad_types"
# http_reply_access deny bad_types !bad_exception_urls
deny_info ERR_BLOCK_TYPE bad_types


FYI, in order for the deny_info action to be taken the ACL it is
attached to must be the final one on a line.

Previous config was fine, but this "bad_types" use will not work. You
need to re-order the access checks like this:


    # http_reply_access deny !bad_exception_urls bad_types




This part from here ...

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# standard web (HTTP PUT/GET/etc) access

# We basically allow any auth'ed user to connect via HTTP to anywhere,
# so long as it uses a standard port, and is not a direct CONNECT
# attempt, or blocked, or any of the other stuff above.

http_access allow http_ports proto_HTTP methods_std

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# direct CONNECT for HTTP-over-SSL (HTTPS)

http_access allow method_CONNECT ssl_ports

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# deny any other CONNECT attempts

http_access deny method_CONNECT

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# FTP via HTTP proxy

http_access allow ftp_ports proto_FTP


... to here.

Is better handled by the default squid.conf:

    http_access deny !Safe_ports
    http_access deny CONNECT !Ssl_ports

Placed at the top of your http_access lines.


# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# catch-all defaults
http_access allow kerb-auth

# deny any request we missed in the above
http_access deny all

# If we allowed the request, allow the reply (HTTP response) as well.
# Rules above many allow or deny specific reply before now.
# If nothing more specific matched, we allow.
# This should be OK since we filter mainly on requests.
# http_reply_access allow all


FWIW, it is hard to tell what the exact last reply action could have
been. So I would un-comment this allow line to be certain it is what
happens.
