When I.P.s are entered in "unrestricted IP addresses" everything works fine.
The problem is with "Allowed subnets". When entering a subnet and not listing I.P. addresses, any IP within that segment is blocked.
Examples:
1)Allowed subnet = 192.168.7.0/24
Unrestrcited IP addresses = None
I.P. 192.168.7.55 is being blocked.
2)Allowed subnet = 192.168.7.0/24
Unrestrcited IP addresses = 192.168.7.12
I.P. 192.168.7.12 connects.
IP 192.168.7.55 is blocked.
Can someone test this please? Looking for confirmation this is not an individual issue.
Dear errored out,
QuoteWhen entering a subnet and not listing I.P. addresses, any IP within that segment is blocked.
what kind of error do you get?, do you get squid access denied page?
from your description, I believe what you lack is to configure proxy Access controls list.
Allowed subnet: is the subnet that's allowed to talk to the proxy.
Unrestricted IP addresses: the ip address that is allowed to surf anything.
whitelist: sites that are allowed for everyone in the subnet
blacklist: sites that are denied for everyone in the subnet
I am not receiving any error message. The connection times out as if blocked / no Internet access.
I also understand what you are saying, however the notations on the config page for Allowed subnet (full help ticked) states:
Type subnets you want to allow access to the proxy server.
and for Unrestricted IP addresses:
Type IP addresses you want to allow access to the proxy server.
So using this, I wanted to shift from using specific I.P.s to subnets. Also, I am not using any white/black lists, any other ACL types.
Anyone else run into this?
