[Solved] Access denied while browsing through squid
Well, I have a netbook and a desktop. I have Ubuntu 9.04 installed in my desktop box, and Windows XP in the netbook. So I decided to share internet to my netbook through cross cable. But the default installation of squid won’t let me do it. With correct proxy settings in my netbook too, I couldn’t get to browse the internet. Access denied notice as:
Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect
was presented. So the solution:
What I found out was, default squid config will deny all http connections. So in squid.conf file, find the line something like:
# And finally deny all other access to this proxy
http_access deny all
edit this line and make it as
http_access allow all
That will solve your problem for a home network. You may need to restart squid to see the changes.
