Squid on an Azure VM
- by LantisGaius
I can't get it to work. Here's exactly what I did:
Create a new Azure VM, Windows Server 2012.
RDP to the new VM
Download & Extract Squid for Windows (2.7.STABLE8)
Rename the conf files (squid, mime & cachemgr)
Add the following lines on the end of squid.conf
auth_param basic program c:/squid/libexec/ncsa_auth.exe c:/squid/etc/passwd.txt
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm Welcome to http://abcde.fg Squid Proxy!
auth_param basic credentialsttl 12 hours
auth_param basic casesensitive off
acl ncsa_users proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow ncsa_users
Use http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator-windows/ to create passwd.txt
Test passwd.txt via c:/squid/libexec/ncsa_auth.exe c:/squid/etc/passwd.txt (success)
squid -z
squid -i
net start squid (No errors so far).
go to https://manage.windowsazure.com, Virtual Machines - myVM - Endpoints
Add Endpoint:
Name: Squid
Protocol: TCP
Public Port: 80
Private Port: 3128
That's it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I think I screwed something up at the endpoint? I'm not sure.. help?
EDIT: I'm testing it via Firefox - Options - Advanced - Network, and the exact error is "The Proxy Server is refusing connections." I'm using my DNS as the Proxy server "abcdef.cloudapp.net" and port 80 (since that's my public endpoint).
