This is an automatic script to install Squid-proxy with basic authentication for Linux Ubuntu. This script is already tested and working in Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS & 18.04 LTS.
-
Download or clone this repo.
git clone https://github.com/dnwandana/squid-proxy.git cd squid-proxy -
Make the file
install-squid.shis executable.sudo chmod +x install-squid.sh
-
Execute
install-squid.shsudo ./install-squid.sh
-
You'll be prompted for first user to use the proxy-server. You can leave it blank (add user later).
-
To add another user you can type :
sudo htpasswd /etc/squid/passwd username
^ Change username to your preferred username.
-
To verify if the squid service is running, you can type :
sudo systemctl status squid
You should see the
active (running)status like this.Loaded: ..... Active: active (running) since DATE; TIME ago Docs: .... -
or you can check running Squid proxy port using following command :
sudo netstat -ntlp
By default, Squid runs on port
3128. You should see the result like this.Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp6 0 0 :::3128 :::* LISTEN 14768/(squid-1)
We're gonna test Squid proxy authentication using curl. You can use the following syntax :
curl -x [SQUID_SERVER_IP]:[SQUID_PORT] --proxy-user [USERNAME]:[USER_PASSWORD] -I [SITE]For Example :
curl -x 192.168.0.100:3128 --proxy-user testuser:P@ssw0rd -I https://google.com/You'll see the following results :
-
Success
HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established
-
Authentication Error
HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required ..... ..... Received HTTP code 407 from proxy after CONNECT
That's it now you're ready to go to use Squid proxy for any reason!
