Lab 12.1. Create a Basic squid Forward Proxy
Hello,
i have some problems with this excercise.
The networking part is still a learning curve for me.
I´m now trying to configure the firefox browser to use the squid proxy.
But i can´t get it work. I get always this error "The proxy server is refusing connections"
squid -k parse
does not show errors.
the ip route command on my VM show this IP details:
default via 10.0.2.2 dev enp0s3 proto dhcp metric 100 10.0.2.0/24 dev enp0s3 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.2.15 metric 100 169.254.0.0/16 dev enp0s3 scope link metric 1000
So I used this config for /etc/squid/squid.confacl examplenetwork src 10.0.2.0/24
and in this section: #http_access allow localnet
http_access allow localhost http_access allow examplenetwork
In firefox i added this proxy setting under manual proxy configuration:
10.0.2.0 on port 3128
Where is my mistake here?

Somehow i managed to get it work.
In the squid.conf file, the line that begins with http_port, i added the IP of my VM:
http_port 10.0.2.15:3128
when using this in the firefox settings, it seems to work now, when i enter a URL that does not exist, i can see the squid error site.
