Need Help turning a VPS into password protected Proxy server...HELP!

JuicyBlack · #1 (**permalink**) 12-04-2009, 11:52 PM

Hey guys!

I got a VPS with some IPS which I'd like to password protect for private use. So I SSH'd into the vps, and did this:

sudo apt-get update (PRESS ENTER)
sudo apt-get install nano (PRESS ENTER)

Installed nano to edit text files through the terminal then installed squid:

apt-get install squid

Everything went smoothly and after that I followed the steps as shown here:

http://www.dodyweb.com/your-own-high...uid-on-ubuntu/

The problems I now face are:

1.
I don't know how to ACL an IP range, I would use an IP range because I have dynamic IP...and Even if I knew how to establish the range I would feel a lot better If I could somehow password protect the proxies, that way I could go into Proxyfirewall and enter the proxies along with the password and do my thing like that.

2.
I followed all the steps as shown here:
http://www.dodyweb.com/your-own-high...uid-on-ubuntu/

I also used the IP I currently have assigned (for the ACL settings) but when I tried to enter that proxy into ProxyFirewall to route all the firefox traffic through it, nothing happened, I was still being detected with my regular IP... and then I entered the IP on Firefox's foxyproxy to test one more time but the pages wouldn't load, all I would see is a message saying:

"SSL something..
If your browser doesn't redirect you automatically click here"

And then the browser would redirect me to the site I was trying to reach but again nothing would load on the browser, all I got was a white page.

SO...

Anyone knows of a better guide to turn a VPS into a password protected proxy server using squid? or is there any1 out there who could help me set this thing up????

If you still need help configuring your proxy server, send me a message. I can do this for you...and anyone else who wants their own private proxy server as well.

yum install squid

vi /etc/squid/squid.conf to your like

the end.

thanks for the input guys I kinda broke my head trying to get this to work and finally did it. The whole problem was that I wasnt' familiar with all the shell commands available but now getting the proxies up and running is easy ... the hard part is the NCSA or ACL implementation.

The moment I try to add NCSA authentication all hell breaks loose and it shouldn't cause things are pretty much straight forward... this is what I am doing as far as NCSA:

... Now prior to doing that my squid.conf file looks like this (ignore the BB color tags):

PHP Code:

If you get ur sever reset back to defaults then PM me I'll set it up for you, it's CentOS right?

Its ubuntu ... but CentOS terminal commands are kinda similar right? Anyhow I need some advice as to how to implement NCSA user authentication cause if I use an ACL I will have to specify my IP and since my IP is dynamic I'll have to change that dam ACL every time I want to access the proxies on that VPS...

I've also read about PAM user authentication... dunno if that one is better or easier to set up... any ideas?
