First off, this past weekend I moved from IPcop to Endian. Endian is really great!

Now for my issue, I am unable to connect with AOL(Pidgin) instant messenger using Endian's proxy (configured in transparent mode).  If I configure the Pidgin client to use the Endian proxy on port 8080 it will not connect. If I configure pidgin to connect directly (no proxy) I am able to do so without issue. There is nothing in the logs that I can find indicating why this connection is being dropped. If I do a tcpdump on the interface closest to the client I see the three-way handshake complete, but then the Endian firewall sends back a reset packet to the client!  Angry  Is anyone else able to connect with AIM using the proxy explicitly?  I have tried to connect via the proxy from the green network and openvpn client connections, neither want to work. I am able to access web sites via a browser (explicit proxy configuration) from both the green and openvpn connections. Any help would be appreciated.

Another odd thing I noticed was that the proxy connection from the client does not seem to make it to the firewall, as you can see the three way handshake completes and then the client tries to do a the proxy connect in packet 14:16:08.191335:

tcpdump from the firewall:

The above captures are for the same connection. Also of note, I am unable to access any port 443 sites when explicitly using the proxy, port 80 works fine. So it seems like there is a general issue with the ports being permitted to access squid with.

Ok, I just got home from work and fired up my laptop (connects off of the blue interface) and found that I can connect to port 443 sites via the proxy and connect via AIM as well. Time for some more investigation work...

Well I reloaded from the CD, configured just a red and green interface. Enabled transparent proxy on green and it still does not work. In my browser if I explicitly define the proxy server I am unable to connect to any site port 443/https. If I remove the explicit proxy setting I am able to browse ssl enabled sites  Huh

So I changed the proxy port to 800, restarted the proxy via '/etc/init.d/squid restart' and now it works without a problem.  Grin
