Simple configuration of installing squid as an intranet Proxy Server (Proxy) in Ubuntu

I have a Ubuntu Linux machine with a wireless network card that can be accessed from the Internet. I want to set it as a proxy server so that other machines in the Intranet can use it as a proxy for Internet access.

1. Install squid on Ubuntu Linux

aborn@aborn-lisp:~$ sudo apt-get install squid

2. The agent is automatically started after the installation. If the default configuration is used, set the proxy on another machine (this is my setting proxy on Chrome ):

The following problems are found during the test:

3. It seems that you do not have the Access permission.

Edit the squid. conf file.

aborn@aborn-lisp:~$ sudo vi /etc/squid/squid.conf

4. Remove the following 676 line comment to allow localnet access

That is:

 673 # Example rule allowing access from your local networks. 674 # Adapt localnet in the ACL section to list your (internal) IP networks                                                                                    675 # from where browsing should be allowed 676 http_access allow localnet 677 http_access allow localhost

5. Restart squid

aborn@aborn-lisp:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/squid restart

6. Then you can access the Internet on another machine !!
