Hey David,

 

I have just verified that the next guide works as expected:

https://www.serverlab.ca/tutorials/linux/administration-linux/how-to-set-the-proxy-for-apt-for-ubuntu-18-04/

 

on Ubuntu 20.04 you can create the file:

/etc/apt/apt.conf

 

And then add to it the next lines: (replace the domain and port to an ip and 
port or another domain and port if required)

Acquire::http::proxy "http://prox.srv.world:3128/";;
Acquire::https::proxy "http://prox.srv.world:3128/";;

##

 

The above works as expected.

 

If for any reason what so ever you experience some issues you can try to add 
into the proxy hosts  file a static  record of:

202.158.214.106 mirror.aarnet.edu.au

# verify the right host ipv4 address using host/dig/nslookup

 

And then restart the squid proxy.

 

Try again and see if it works as expected.

 

All The Bests,

Eliezer

Subject: [squid-users] Ubuntu 20.04 "apt update" issues behind a VPN and Squid 
proxy

 

Hi,

 

We've got a collection of Ubuntu 18.04 boxes out in the field. They connect to 
an AWS OpenVPN VPN and use a Squid 3.5 AWS hosted Proxy. They work fine.

 

We have tried upgrading one to 20.04. Same setup. From the command line curl or 
wget can happily download an Ubuntu package from the Ubuntu Mirror site we use. 
But "apt update" gets lots of "IGN:" timeouts and errors.

 

The package we test curl with is 
https://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/ubuntu/pool/main/c/curl/curl_7.68.0-1ubuntu2.5_amd64.deb

 

The Squid log shows a line the doesn't occur for the successful 18.04 "apt 
updates":

1625190959.233     81 10.0.11.191 TAG_NONE/200 0 CONNECT 
mirror.aarnet.edu.au:443 <http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au:443>  - 
HIER_DIRECT/2001:388:30bc:cafe::beef -

 

The full output of an attempt to update is:

While running, the line

0% [Connecting to HTTP proxy 
(http://vpn-proxy-d68aca8a8f7f81d6.elb.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com:3128)]

appears often and hang for a while.

 

I've tried upping the squid logging and allowing all, but they didn't offer any 
additional information about the issue.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,
