Squid3 blocking DVR
-
I'm starting to believe that squid is practically useless today other than as a platform for URL filtering with squidGuard. The nature of the modern dynamic web makes caching anything almost impossible, and the caching causes all kind of problems. What's the point of having a cache when your hit rate is 4-7%? And good luck getting Windows Updates to cache.
I'm still on 2.1.5 with squid3/squidGuard but when I move to 2.2 I'm going to ditch squid's hard disk cache altogether and just have it as the base for squidGuard.
-
But heres the funny thing I can access another DVR same version but no issues. On 2.2.2 after installing Squid3 a reboot is must for it to work. And for windows update im glad it wont work I hate windows update it usually messes up everything. But how does squidGuard work without squid3?

:o Sounds like crazy antivaxxer talk. While problems have happened, the disease is most certainly worse than the cure.

It doesn't, but you can control how large the squid hard disk and memory caches are. With no hard disk cache and a filesystem of null, it won't cache to disk.

Well, this is not, AFAIK, Squid OR SquidGuard.
SquidGuard is an add-on to Squid and works in conjunction with Squid.I don't think is really makes sense to run SquidGuard without Squid.
The point here was to highlight that caching is less and less useful thus idea is to run Squid without caching but still passing through SquidGuard for filtering.

Registry dead[/quote]Oh well, just restore from your backup and move on. You do perform backups, right? ;)

Doesn't matter. Even if squid isn't actually caching the content, it's still logging everything. Your traffic reports should look the same even with no caching.

Exactly.

@KOM so theres no way i can make squid to ignore access to the external IP of the DVR when trying to accessing it? :-\

The main squid config page has the Bypass proxy for these destination IPs option. Try it and see if your thingy works.

perfectly worked i put the WAN IP /24 worked like a charm. I actually never saw that option :o
Thank KOM
