Upstream proxy not working properly

hadi57

hi

my isp request me so my browser point to their proxy, so i tried 2 soulutions an none works.

1- in proxy server: upstream proxy settings, a) i tic the box to forward requests to an upstream server.
b) put the proxy ip givin to me by my isp. c) put the port 8080. d) use the port 7 to connect to upstream proxy. e) put the username and password i use for my dsl router to access the internet, f) put the password.

so what is happening now is, when my client pass the captive portal page, a user name and password
box apears and wont go unless he/she put the username and password, the one i use for my dsl router. then the internet works fine.

2- if i cancel soutution 1- and point the browser of an xclient pc to use the proxy ip givin by my isp the captive portal page wont apear.

how to deal with this situation

appreciating your help

squid?
I add manually to squid.conf - this worked with parent squid or usergate proxy
'cache_peer 192.168.2.29 parent 8080 7 no-query'

hi

can you tell me where i can find squid.conf please

thanks

find / -iname squid.conf

It should be in /usr/local/etc/ but the find command is extremely useful and is always your friend.

You set you self data? Or copy my string '1:1'?
Must be (i set this config for my situation - and this woked for me)
cache_peer you.self.parent.proxy parent parentPROXYport 7 no-query

hadi57

hi

yes i set my isp proxy and the setup came as follows

cache_peer 212.93.193.87 parent 8080 7 no-query. still a box asking for the user name and password to access the requested site appears.

if it is possible that my clients can see and pass the captive portal page when they point to the isp's proxy in the their browser, this would solve my problem as well.

but putting the isp proxy in the upstream solution is preferable.

thanks for your support
