Topic: ISP proxy

[gmr2000]

I can't find the ISP setting like Ver. 6, Is there any change in the seting. and how I can configure the ISP proxy.

I cannot find the dialogue to setup an ISP proxy as in earlier versions, perhaps a bug report would get the reason the facility has been removed, the alternative way of setting the proxy or a workaround.

It's been removed because it is quite rarely used these days, and we wanted the console setup to be as simple as possible.

... the alternative way of setting the proxy or a workaround.

config set SquidParent hostname.of.parent.cache
config set SquidParentPort nnn
expand-template /etc/squid/squid.conf
/etc/rc7.d/S90squid restart

I just moved and found myself without dsl no im on a modem using e-smiths modem setting. Im going to connect a few computers to the network and was wondering if that ISP setting was a cache server? if so i will need that pretty bad.

Only if your ISP's connection to the net is poor. Your server will have its own cache, which your client machines will use. You would only want to set your upstream cache information if your ISP doesn't use a transparent cache, also has limited bandwidth or high latency connection to the net proper, and has other customers who browse the same stuff that you do.

The setting in your browser.

Hi, I have applied this to my squid and it worked fine.  

... the alternative way of setting the proxy or a workaround.

config set SquidParent hostname.of.parent.cache
config set SquidParentPort nnn
expand-template /etc/squid/squid.conf
/etc/rc7.d/S90squid restart

However, now I want to revert it back to a normal squid.  How do I do it?

Thanks, Brad

It looks like this would work:

Code: [Select]

config delete SquidParent
expand-template /etc/squid/squid.conf
service squid restart

You could also config delete SquidParentPort to clean up your config db if you want to, but the template fragment for Squid Parent (/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/squid/squid.conf/10ParentCache) decides not to output anything if 'SquidParent' doesn't exist, so you don't have to...

Thanks for that, worked a treat.
