Hi,

I am having issues configuring Squid using a proxy to resolve host names
specified in a host file. While using the proxy I can navigate to other
website domains successfully, however when I try to use a name specified in
my hosts file then I receive this page in my browser:

I have configured the host file on my machine to resolve the IP address:

In the Squid configuration folder I've added the following line:

It seems what I've added to my hosts file is being ignored by the Squid
proxy server. I have ensured the path is correct and I restart my Squid
each time I make edits to any configuration files yet the error persists. I'm
wondering if there is something I am missing in the configuration or
elsewhere. I've attached my entire Squid configuration file for further
reference. I am running Squid version 3.5.28 on Windows

Thank you in advance,

Jazmine Redmond

# Recommended minimum Access Permission configuration:
#

# Only allow cachemgr access from localhost
http_access allow localhost manager
http_access deny manager

# Deny requests to certain unsafe ports
http_access deny !Safe_ports

# Deny CONNECT to other than secure SSL ports
http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports

# We strongly recommend the following be uncommented to protect innocent
# web applications running on the proxy server who think the only
# one who can access services on "localhost" is a local user
#http_access deny to_localhost

#
# INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM YOUR CLIENTS
#

# Example rule allowing access from your local networks.
# Adapt localnet in the ACL section to list your (internal) IP networks
# from where browsing should be allowed
http_access allow localnet
http_access allow localhost

# And finally deny all other access to this proxy
http_access allow all

# Squid normally listens to port 3128
http_port 3128

# Uncomment the line below to enable disk caching - path format is 
/cygdrive/<full path to cache folder>, i.e.
#cache_dir aufs /cygdrive/d/squid/cache 3000 16 256

# Leave coredumps in the first cache dir
