Anyone using Squid Proxy

anyone here have a hands on experience with squid proxy?

what do you wish to know about Squid?

I'm having some problem regarding browsing a particular site,
kapag dumaan na siya sa squid, hindi cya nabbrowse  yun talaga ang problem
unless gamitin ko yun public ipaddress nun site, pro yung iba namang
site ok nabbrowse ko...

first of all, it would really help to view the squid proxy's logs (e.g. access.log file) as you do tests. i do a tail -f access.log to see a running view of the proxy access log.

does the web request pass thru the squid proxy even when using an IP address instead of a fully-qualified domain name for accessing the site? if so, then the problem could be resolving DNS requests on the proxy server itself. make sure your proxy server can resolve names (e.g. have it ping www.yahoo.com). check its /etc/resolv.conf file, if it's running Linux.

yes by using IP address it pass thru the squid, but using fqdn nope indi,
yup it can be ping on the server using i.e. ping www.yahoo.com
and it can be even resolve using the command host www.yahoo.com,
indi kaya may problem ito regarding sa language, taiwanese kz ung site.

have you tried browsing other sites through the proxy? like www.yahoo.com?

if those sites work but the taiwanese site doesn't, then the problem should be on that taiwanese site. also, is there a firewall after the squid proxy? baka andun din yun problem. also note the error message you see on screen (the one generated by Squid and sent to the browser) as well as other log files generated by Squid.

yipeee... I have resolve my problem, it has something to do with my dns cache
tnx sir for the inputs... gud day...

Oh yeah. DNS cache palyed some tricks on me too when I was still having some *affair* with squid proxy in our school. Ahh, the memories.
