apt-get install squid

Installs basic - but with no options.<br>

The following options were added into /etc/squid/squid.conf<br> http_port 3128 //as an alternative to above, as I just wanted to access squid locally, I had: http_port 127.0.0.1:3128

That Should be It! <br> To allow individual Clients besides Localhost acl phi src 136.201.146.211 http_access allow phi

Info and basic settings got from:<br> http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_secure_browsing_squid<br> Main One = http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/squid.htm<br>

Example Used:

delay_pools 1 delay_class 1 3 delay_access 1 allow users delay_access 1 deny all delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 64000/64000 6000/64000 #asumed 256 is top speed #1250=10 Kbps

If you want to log all the access made to the Squid Proxy Server, which is very useful for debugging access requests, do the following: vi /etc/squid/squid.conf #uncomment the following: cache_access_log /var/log/squid/access.log Thats it.

In squids logs ( /var/log/squid/access.log ), you can have the username appear. Typically people may ssh in and portfoward port 3128 and then use localhost:3128 in their Internet Browser.

apt-get install oidentd oidentd listens on port 113. oidentd runs as a daemon and can be controlled in /etc/init.d/ Other identd packages don't come with init scripts.

telnet localhost 113, and then enter: port1, port2 (where port1 and port2 are source and destination ports. Choose any numbers to test). root@server:~# telnet localhost 113 Trying 127.0.0.1… Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 1234,80 1234,80:ERROR:NO-USER Connection closed by foreign host.

vi /etc/squid/squid.conf

      acl ident_aware_hosts src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
      ident_lookup_access allow ident_aware_hosts
      ident_lookup_access deny all

/etc/init.d/squid restart

That should be it. You can now tail your squid logs, and usernames will appear.
