Squid 3 - Reverse Proxy
-
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can help.
Please correct me if I am wrong, however as I understand the Squid 3 reverse proxy feature should allow me to "proxy" connections from the outside world and redirect to internal servers based on what http header is sent?
If this is true, I am having difficulty getting this to work, perhaps I am not understanding what the options are asking me for. :(
Hoping someone can assist with getting this going?
I have an internal server running a website "http://internal-ip/mysite/page/something.html" using port 80.
I've set up a public DNS record "mysite.domain.com"
Under reverse proxy general
I have WAN interface selected
External FQDN: domain.com
HTTP mode is enabled with port 80
No other settings on this page.
Web servers tab
Added a peer and enabled
peer alias is the same as my DNS record "mysite"
peer IP is the IP of my internal server
port 80
Mappings tab
not sure if this is required but I added one anyway.
just enabled, added my peer, and added domain "mysite.domain.com"
Wondering if there is something else I am missing, or am I just on the wrong track completely?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Update: Also to add I have a firewall rule allowing any any on TCP port 80 with log enabled. When trying the website I do see the traffic being logged but my browser displays error "the connection to the server was reset"
-
"The connection is reseted" is the squid3 message for no rule match.
The default fqdn is the full dns name instead of domain name.
Take a screenshot with a sample config. Maybe it will be easier to help.

Thanks for your help.
I've added some photo's (4 of them) with sample entries.
Where domain.com is my primary domain, and mysite.domain.com would be the address I am trying to use and point to a specific internal server.
I do have another NAT rule on a different external port which works fine when by-passing the proxy.
Thanks for your help!
Cheers.

So after looking at my own screenshots I tried one more thing.
I unchecked "reset unauthorized connections" and I now see more info. I believe it is something with Squid blocking the connection?
The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://mysite.domain.com/ Access Denied. Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect. Your cache administrator is admin@domain.com.
Would you happen to know what option would effect "access"?
Thanks!
-
Change external fqdn to mysite.domain.com and check squid realtime tab / error logs.
-
Thanks for your response.
I had already tried setting FQDM to mysite.domain.com ; tried it again and its still not working.
I'm not sure where to see the live logs, under SARG I see this:
2012-07-04 13:57 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - GET mysite.domain.com
I'm wondering if I use mysite.domain.com does that mean I cannot have more than one domain (website) behind the proxy?
Thanks!

Hi again,
Thanks for your help.
I've stumbled upon Mod Security package which I think will better meet my needs. It seems to be working with my setup.
Thanks again. If you have any comments (should I not use this?) or something please let me know.
Cheers

Hi, I am new use the Squid 3. I want to do like www.facebook.com.sixxs.org Reverse Proxy service. How I do it? Could you help me?!

Hey marcelloc,
Been using your mod_security package and its still working great! Curious about the functionality. My understanding is that Mod_Security is supposed to be an "application firewall/IPS" for web servers… is this still the case or is this solely running in proxy only mode?
If its able to do the firewall bit, will the new package you're working on including customizations for this? (or how does one customize rules)
Thoughts or input?
Thanks for all your hard work! Very much appreciated. :)
Update: Figure I'm supposed to edit / add code to the bottom "custom mod security rules" and when I put one from the mod security site to change what my web server is reported as it does not seem to apply or nmap is able to still figure it out 100% correctly?
Thanks

This is not my package, I'm just improving an existing package :)

If I'm not wrong modsecurity rules on current package are too old, so just some features are working
If its able to do the firewall bit, will the new package you're working on including customizations for this? (or how does one customize rules)
New version will have a lot of new modsecurity_options, updated rules and rules customization
-
haha whoops… well thanks to the creator then! ;)
I'll hold off playing with this older package and eagerly wait for your new one. Sounds like it will be quite nice! :)
Will it be seen as an update or a totally new package?
Thanks again.
Cheers!

Maybe as an update, but config will change a lot, save your config on a txt and/or backup file

awesome thanks I'll look forward to it.
Cheers!
