Virtualbox and Squid

  • 772

I'm trying to setup Squid and am having great difficulty (I'm new to all this). Basically, I have a VirtualBox machine which I can ssh in to ([email protected]). I want this machine (192.168.56.101) to act as a transparent Squid caching server for my host machine.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be most appreciated. Many thanks in advance,

proxy squid

    You cannot set it up as a transparent proxy server if it is not connected to the network "before" your host machine.

    Well, there is one way. If you have a manageable firewall (other than a standard router) in front of your local network, then you could force all connections on certain ports to go through your virtual machine.

    You can use it as a parallel one though.
