How do I make Squid use Chellos proxy?
Noting the problems above, add the following to your squid.conf: cache_peer proxy.chello.co.nz parent 8080 7 no-query no-digest default prefer_direct off Squid (2.2 at least) by default doesn’t like to talk to proxies it can’t query by ICP or other cache-to-cache methods, and prefer_direct tells it to use a parent cache for anything. However, if the chello cache is down, Squid will still fall back gracefully to going direct to the site, making it reasonably reliable. 3.3 Debian 2.2 and rwhod If you’re running Debian 2.2, you might want to tell the rwhod daemon (which is installed by default) not to bind to any broadcast interface, which would include your cable modem interface.
