What benefits one may get from using an anonymous proxy server? Well, I would say many things but the most important one is that you can browse the web anonymously without exposing your IP, location etc.. out there. Anyhow, even though I usually use OpenVPN or PPTP for safe browsing and such things, having a private anonymous proxy server in your toolbox is a nice thing.

then I’ve searched the portage tree for ‘squid’ using my pkgfile function and got this:

ok, then emerged ‘net-proxy/squid’ using:

once it got installed, since this squid proxy setup will be using authentication to authenticate users via the ‘ncsa_auth‘ helper, we need to know the location of this helper so we can use it in our squid.confconfiguration file. To find this I’ll be using a tool named as ‘qfile‘ which is shipped in ‘app-portage/portage-utils‘.
 
# qfile ncsa_auth
net-proxy/squid (/usr/libexec/squid/ncsa_auth)
 
ok, so the auth helper is located in ‘/usr/libexec/squid/ncsa_auth’ so let’s setup Squid’s configuration file (/etc/squid/squid.conf). Make sure you change ‘XXX.XX.XX.XXX’ with your actual server’s IP address and edit anything else you want to suit your needs.

The Squid Proxy Server

This is a quick and dirty howto about getting Squid up und running in 5min...

What benefits one may get from using an anonymous proxy server? Well, I would say many things but the most important one is that you can browse the web anonymously without exposing your IP, location etc.. out there. Anyhow, even though I usually use OpenVPN or PPTP for safe browsing and such things, having a private anonymous proxy server in your toolbox is a nice thing. Furthermore, a cache is speeding up you daily internet connection with repeating objects getting out of the cache instead of downloading it again. Advanced filtering technics (Antivirus, Content, Ad-Blocks, etc) are also possible.

Please start always by refreshing your portage tree, like:

  1. emerge --sync

then I’ve searched the portage tree for ‘squid’ using my pkgfile function and got this:

# pkgfile squid
=> net-analyzer/squid-graph
=> net-analyzer/squidsites
=> net-analyzer/squidview
=> net-proxy/squid
=> net-proxy/squidclamav
=> net-proxy/squidguard
=> sec-policy/selinux-squid

ok, then emerged ‘net-proxy/squid’ using:

  1. emerge -av net-proxy/squid

once it got installed, since this squid proxy setup will be using authentication to authenticate users via the ‘ncsa_auth‘ helper, we need to know the location of this helper so we can use it in our squid.confconfiguration file. To find this I’ll be using a tool named as ‘qfile‘ which is shipped in ‘app-portage/portage-utils‘.

  1. qfile ncsa_auth

net-proxy/squid (/usr/libexec/squid/ncsa_auth)

ok, so the auth helper is located in ‘/usr/libexec/squid/ncsa_auth’ so let’s setup Squid’s configuration file (/etc/squid/squid.conf). Make sure you change ‘XXX.XX.XX.XXX’ with your actual server’s IP address and edit anything else you want to suit your needs.

then do a # squid -z to create the cache direcory. Finally, restart your squid server and check if it’s actually listening using:
