Hi, I have a new ADSL connection for our office, and a new firewall behind it. I pointed a proxy server (squid) to it, and.. it works most of the time. Just a few websites don't seem to like it. E.g.: 1385361294.211 18410 192.168.50.199 TCP_MISS/502 1217 GET http://www.zeit.de/index - DIRECT/217.13.68.220 text/html There are a few sites that don't work, most of the time it is a 502, occasionally a 504. I suspected the new firewall but cannot see any related packets dropped (and logged) there. Thanks for any ideas Peter

Check that you haven't disabled the "forwarded for" setting in squid. A large number of sites break with this off (I maintain that those sites are bad, but sadly they'll likely never fix things. I know Wordpress used to be this way for a long time). Snipped from my home squid.conf: # TAG: forwarded_for on|off # If set, Squid will include your system's IP address or name # in the HTTP requests it forwards. By default it looks like # this: # # X-Forwarded-For: 192.1.2.3 # # If you disable this, it will appear as # # X-Forwarded-For: unknown # #Default: # forwarded_for on -- Julien Goodwin Studio442 "Blue Sky Solutioneering"

One of those settings can break things though. I run Squid on my laptop and I've had some sites reject me because a connection attempt from 127.0.0.1 is supposedly from a "hacker". 127.0.0.1 is the client address for my connection to Squid... -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
