Web based Squid

Hi All,

I want to setup a proxy server and I come to know Squid can do the job.
However, I am still not so familiar with Linux command and the limited
documentation on Squid. I was wondering is there a "Web Based GUI version of
Squid".

Please help.

Thanks

0) squid has quite good documentation, every directive
in squid.conf is heavy commented

1) don't be afraid it's just a few lines in squid.conf

2) if you insist on having a web interface, look for
"webmin-squid" package in your Linux distribution.

Filip is right. It's might need little modification in few lines and
but it works with a default configuration file supplied with your
distribution.

For a fresh starter, here it is from

to be down right at this moment, taken from google cache)

Squid uses the configuration file squid.conf. It is usually located in
the /etc/squid directory. Access through the proxy can be given by
individual IP addresses or by a subnet of IP addresses.

In squid.conf search for the default access control lists(acl) and add
the following line below them:

acl mynetwork src 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 (for subnet)
acl mynetwork src 192.168.1.10/255.255.255.0 (for individual IP)

Then add the access control list named "mynetwork" to the http_access
list with the following line:

http_access allow mynetwork

The default port for the proxy is 3128. Uncomment the following line
and replace 3128 with the desired port :

http_port 8080
