Topic: How do I bypass Squid on my Windows boxes?

[Howard Bloom]

I use an anonymous browsing proxy using SSH to another box.  My present configuration has Mozilla pointed to AdSubtract at 4444 for all http requests.  That works fine.  Adsubtract after it scrubs out ads and popups then is told to next hop to 127.0.0.1 port 8080.  I go to http://www.grc.com to run shields up and shields up sees my real IP address.  

Looking at the logs in Squid, I see that I'm automatically hitting my Squid Proxy even though I've not told anything to use it.  I can only figure that Adsubtract even though it is told to use localhost at 8080 is still getting sucked into the squid proxy server.  

How can I bypass this?

I don't know about SME 6 but this works on 5.6

/sbin/e-smith/config setprop squid status disabled
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop squid Transparent no
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/squid/squid.conf
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event remoteaccess-update
service squid stop

Hi Howard,

You may find a problem disabling
squid. Though I can't say for sure.
If your isp is using pppoe, your
windows box may not be able to
access the net without the squid
proxy.

I stopped squid on my sme 5.6
box and was not able to access
the net.  I am running win98 and
for some reason it has a compatability
issue with pppoe. If I try to access
the net without the special drivers
that sbc provides my win98 machine
will not access the net unless it
is connected direclty to the modem.
I was unable to access through
my netgear router as well, unless
the sme5.6 was running to proxy
the connection.

Just thought I would let you know
this, hopefully before you stop the
squid service.
