I want to use Mikrotik and Squid Proxy to cache web pages and other content. Can any one help me how to connect them, which is the best and easy way to make them working? I have tried to connect squid on sepeate interface of Mikrotik dedicated for squid but does not work. I have pached Linux Kernel with ZHP, and Squid too with ZHP. When I use Squid in me Network connected to switch and by putting Squid IP in IE it works, but when I put squid with mikrotik it does not work. Mangle rule with DSCP of 12, My Mikrotik version is 3.18.
I am not clear but as I understood Kernel to must be pached too, and squid too must be pached.
I have pached Kernel with ZPH patch, and Squid config with ZPH patch.
Hi forum,
I’ve the same scenario as beny30 did but in my case i’m using CentOS . I’ve pached the squid3.0 and got the ZPH directive in squid.conf file. Alone squid is working fine if i put the ip in the browser. By the way, i’m providing public ip to the user. At this moment how to mangle and redirect to squid and physical connectivity? As normis said about parent proxy that mean web proxy should also enabled in MK and use it as parent proxy for squid? Can anyone help abt the matter clearly?
I realize to setup Ubuntu + Squid but I can not limit speed for clients as I do in Mikrotik web proxy. I mean when clients get staf from Internet they to get in with their real speed, e.g. 512 but when to get staff from Squid (cache content) to get with other speed e.g. 1 M. In this case I tried to make many configurations but Squid gets a llot of traffic. It would be very good if we can setup it like in Mikrotik webproxy. Squid as proxy works perfectly and is efective I could say, I even set up cache videos and it works very well.
cheers
