Squid 2.7 in offline_mode yet tries to contact DNS servers to resolve addresses
- by William C
I installed Squid 2.7 to act as a web cache on my laptop, so that I can browse previously-visited sites when I don't have WiFi. Except http_access allow all, I've made no changes to the default squid.conf configuration.
When I turn offline_mode ON and disconnect from the Internet, and then I visit sites, I encounter
The following error was encountered:
Unable to determine IP address from host name for whatever.sitename.com
The dnsserver returned:
Timeout
on any site I visit.
What settings do I need to add to squid.conf so I can browse sites offline?
