Hi all,
I have installed a Squid proxy (2.7 windows) in a VMware (8.0.4) with
NAT networking [1].
The proxy is working inside VMware correct but cannot be accessed from
the host network.
I think I've to use port forwarding in VMware and tried these settings,
- port forwarding in VMware [2],
- host-browser [3],
- squid.conf [4].
I hope someone can help me and I appreciate any advice.
Port forwarding NAT is only required when the networks have overlapping
IP ranges and require NAT to fix that problem. Regular routing should
work fine.
Cheers,

network: vmnet8
subnet: 192.168.88.0
mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.88.2

Port forwarding in VMware (version 8.0.4):
--
host port: 3128
type: tcp
vm: 192.168.88.128:3128
allow active FTP
allow any org. unique identifier
config port 0 (?)

Host-Browser settings:
--
http-proxy: localhost
port: 3128
Browser is connecting to localhost (127.0.0.1 or ::1) not one of the
192.* ranges. This might be the probem. It should be pointing at an
IP:port of the proxy.

squid.conf (version 2.7)

You don't need the 255.255.255.255 bits here.
http_access allow MyNetwork
http_access allow localhost
http_access deny all
icp_access deny all
...
