Recommended minimum configuration:

Example rule allowing access from your local networks.

Adapt to list your (internal) IP networks from where browsing

should be allowed

Recommended minimum Access Permission configuration:

Deny requests to certain unsafe ports

http_access deny !Safe_ports

Deny CONNECT to other than secure SSL ports

http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports

Only allow cachemgr access from localhost

http_access allow localhost manager http_access deny manager

We strongly recommend the following be uncommented to protect innocent

web applications running on the proxy server who think the only

one who can access services on "localhost" is a local user

#http_access deny to_localhost

INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM YOUR CLIENTS

Example rule allowing access from your local networks.

Adapt localnet in the ACL section to list your (internal) IP networks

from where browsing should be allowed

http_access allow localnet http_access allow localhost

And finally deny all other access to this proxy

http_access allow all

Squid normally listens to port 3128

http_port 3128

Uncomment and adjust the following to add a disk cache directory.

#cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 100 16 256

Leave coredumps in the first cache dir

coredump_dir /var/spool/squid
