Setting up Squid / Proxy Server

None of our client VM’s have direct access to internet so we’ll setup a proxy server that the machines can use to acess internet and do external yum installs from time to time.

  • Install squid proxy

    yum -y install squid

  • Edit /etc/squid/squid.conf . Add your local network that will use the proxy server. The rest of the default options can stay.

    acl localnet src 192.168.88.0/24

  • Start squid

    systemctl start squid

  • Enable on boot

    systemctl enable squid

  • Add this line to your client’s /etc/yum.conf to enable proxied yum install

    `proxy=http://proxy.gracie.net:3128`
