use Astaro as cascaded proxy

Guenther Danhofer
Hi,
I'm testing astaro 2.020 since 2 weeks (after having problems with 3.020 beta).
I want to use our provider-proxy's (http/https/ftp - squid on 8080) for surfing, so how i could do that? Should i configure squid manually? Is there anything i have to note for?

Regards
Guenther Danhofer

    Hi

    You can do so by using DNAT option in Astaro,
    all you have to do is, 
    create two networks in the definitions:

    Interproxies 172.x.x.x 
    External Proxy 

    In the services create the service proxy with the specified Port


    Now you create the DNAT rule in the DNAT policies which will look something like this

    Internal Proxy :8080 External Proxy: 8080 

    and in the packet fitler rules create a rule allowing access for the internal network to the valid ip servers to proxy port 8080.

    It should work, It has worked for me.

    If you are not able to understand from the above procedures do let me know I will try to be more clear... [:)]  

    By doing all this you will make sure of the following things

    1) No need of changing the browser settings on the users side
    2) all requests for the proxy will still pass through the firewall, u adhere to security requirements  [;)] 

    Hope this helped you

    Hi,
    I think he wants to configure a parent proxy for squid. Edit: /var/chroot-squid/etc/squid.conf-default to your needs.
