Squid Proxy Issues

I have a serious issue with squid. I deployed a server for a small forex brokerage firm. they have a trading platform that trading is only allowed on. i discovered that the moment i deploy the squid settings as transparent proxy with ssl and block http and https ports, the mt4 servers are all blocked off. If i even add the allowed domain on sites without proxy and domains without proxy yet no connection. if i remove the blocked http and https and then switch to transparent, it works. what do i do to solve this

Could you please post the squid.conf file

/etc/squid/squid.conf

and the result of

ipset list

@davidep I think I have a similar problem with a non transparent proxy. I added a site to “Domains without proxy” but if I do a

ipset list

it isn’t shown.

@alefattorini @mrmarkuz @stephdl please can you help with this.

You could try to set the domains, which are allowed, manually at the config.
Make a custom template

20acl_10_ipcustom

with the following content

acl allowed_hosts dstdomain AllowedDomain

AllowedDomain is the domain you want to reach if everything else is blocked.

how di create the custom template

@Oladipo_Segun

Hi
In a root console of your Nethserver (connect with SSH or at a local console) do the following:

Create the necessary folders:

mkdir /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc
mkdir /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid
mkdir /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf

Create the template:
(If nano is not installed, install it with yum install -y nano)
nano /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/squid/squid.conf/20acl_10_ipcustom

Add the content to your new template (Copy and paste):
acl allowed_hosts dstdomain AllowedDomain

CTRL + X to end, confirm with y and save.

Expand the squid config:
expand-template /etc/squid/squid.conf

Restart Squid with command or via Web-GUI

Hope that helps

Andy
