Mandrake SNF and multiple internal networks

[millap]

Hi all,

I've just setup a Mandrake SNF machine for an adsl connection and I'm having problems allowing remote users at other depots use the proxy service. The local range is allowed and proxies correctly however any other networks (same range but different subnet) that connect to us via X25 links and routers can't. There doesn't seem to be anywhere on the admin site that allows you to allocate which networks are local.

Can anyone help?

I believe with Mandrake's Single Network Firewall, you are limited to a single network, meaning only the one subnet. This may be the cause of your problems... J.R. Juiliano

Hi Juiliano,

Thanks for your reply, I've had a look at the docs section a little further and played around with the console a little. You can do it.

squid.conf file amend the http_access deny all to allow all restart squid and add a gateway to the rest of the network. Seems to be fine now.

It may be because I've only had one cup of coffee and I'm printing out tons of forms right now, but isn't it bad to open http_access to all by default???

I tried looking at some squid.conf examples and I believe there's a default top-to-bottom order, as in:

http_access allow 10.10.10.0
http_access allow 192.168.0.0
http_access deny all

Am I on the right track here? J.R. Juiliano

I'm onto cup number 5 AND I've had a BK ;P so not on my box it would seem. The default entry was http_access deny all which comes after http_access allow localhost and http_access allow Eth0. As Eth0 is a local subnet I had to add a gateway address as mentioned above and restart squid.

I have 8 subnet's and it works like a dream on 'em all
