upstream proxy not working

[Guest]

Since EfW 3.0 I don't get the proxy server working with an upstream proxy.

Without an upstream proxy it works correct.
On EfW 2.5.x the http-proxy still works correct with the same upstream proxy.

I just made a complete fresh installation, only adding the lan cards, activating http proxy and run a test (without upstream proxy) and it works, but when I add the upstream proxy, it's not running anymore (no answer, even no error message; the circle in the browser turns on for several minutes).

If anybody has an idea what I have to do, to get the upstrem proxy function working in EfW 3.2.1 it would help me a lot.

Many thanks.

Thanks - for no answer - so I have to search on by myself.

Here's a solution:

If you change the last section of /etc/squid/squid.conf after entering the upstream proxy in the web browser and save the settings

to

cache_peer ... parent 8080 0 no-query no-digest default
cache_peer_access ... allow from_localhost
cache_peer_access ... allow CONNECT allowed_sslports
cache_peer_access ... allow all
# default deny .. allow only defined traffic going directly
never_direct allow all

and then restart squid with  /etc/init.d/squid restart

the upstream proxy works.

Maybe the endian team can fix this bug (and also that firefox all the times write a password to the /var/efw/proxy/settings file, even after deleting it - this only happens in firefox, not in IE)

Fredrik, and anyone:
I've been following this issue throw jira (http s://jira.endian.com/browse/UTM-1601) and it was fixed in last updates.
Try to update EFW vía console (make sure you are logged in) typing "efw-upgrade".
If you are behind another proxy, I suggest manually set http_proxy environment variable before execute upgrade command:

Code:

export http_proxy="protocolo://url.mi.proxy:mipuerto/"
export https_proxy="protocolo://url.mi.proxy:mipuerto/"
export ftp_proxy="protocolo://url.mi.proxy:mipuerto/"

I have informed that last problem too in http s://jira.endian.com/browse/COMMUNITY-256

Good Luck!
