What Happened - I've been trying to get dansguardian to work with squid and
the two aren't cooperating very well. I'm not sure if they should work out
of the box with the Endian install, but this is what I'm trying to inquire
about.
My Setup -
VMWare Server
3.0Ghz. CPU
256mb ram
Single Green AMD Virtual NIC
As you can see I am only going to use Endian as a proxy and not as a
firewall. I will only have one Green nic and force my browsers to go through
this proxy. I have another firewall and only need endian for it's web and
email filtering capabilities. What I would like to know is if this is
possible and what kind of special configurations I need to perform in order
to make it work correctly with a single Green nic.
I've noticed that by default Dansguardian doesn't have it's proxy_port
configured to the same port that the squid proxy listens on. It's like 9998
for the proxy_port and 9999 for the filter_port, and squid is on 8080. So
when i changed squids over to 8080 and told my browser to point to the
dansguardian filter_port on 9999 it still didn't work because dansguardian
was only listening on the local loopback. So I had to go into the endian
console and manually edit the dansguardian.conf file by removing the
filter_ip=127.0.0.1 line to say: filter ip=
This made it so that when dansguardian was started again it would listen on
all the possible network addresses. Not just the local loopback. Then I
point my browsers to this servers address along with the port of 9999. After
doing this things work good and dansguardian filters my requests correctly
along with all the virus scanning and http filtering from HAVP.
The problem is that now whenever I change dansguardian from the webconsole
and save my settings it overights my existing dansguardian.conf file and
changes it back to the way it used to be. Obviously it seems as though I'm
doing way to much work to get this to work correctly and there must be an
easier way.
How should I address this and what is the correct way to get a single green
nic to work with all the supported filtering/scanning that endian does?
I appreciate any advice you can provide to me on this.
thanks
jesse
