@imran Yes it is dns problem. If you are not using squid, can you access the website with address name?

do you have dns server in your local network? if yes in your dns server (usually bind9) configure proxy.server.com to correct address of your proxy server.

I am running proxy server according to your configuration. I want to know what should I do to make my host name work instead of ip adress of the server to be place in the proxy.

my server name is: proxy.server.com
Lan: IP address is 192.168.111.1

I used this IP addres (192.168.111.1 and port 3128 to connect to internet).
Now, I dont want to use the IP address. I want to use the name instead of IP address.

When I try to use the name on ther server the internet is working( proxy.server.com:3127).
But when I try to use the name on the client. It is not working. Why it is not working?

Hi Ivan ,

I am using squid 2.6 with no iptables but I can't able to access ftp and https connection
my proxy denied 443 and 21. I have done entry in Safe port and SSL port.

Ok how about this scenario. I am using 80 as the squid http_port. So no need of redirection. And im not using iptables ( turned off ) at all for some reasons. How can I make my squid as transparent ? I need to redirect all http and https to be redirected to my squid server via ASA PIX 5510.

i thinks you need is not proxy/squid. try Mikrotik instead. It's a linux with lot of router application and feature.

Hi i was wondering how i would go about configuring so that i can cap the amount of internet each proxy user can use, so say once a user has used 8GBs of cap, they're unable to access the internet anymore, unless their allocated amount of usage is increased
