 Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2007 2:42 pm Post subject: [Solved] using squid as an AIM proxy |
 |
|
Hi, thanks for taking the time to read this!
I'm trying to set up a proxy server for AIM. The final goal is to be able to do virus scanning on the traffic going through, but right now I'm just trying to set squid up to proxy AIM. I used the gentoo wiki: "How to set up a home-server" to set up squid, and it appears to be running fine.
When i try to use the server as a proxy however i get the error "Could not connect to the authentication server. Access denied: HTTP proxy server forbids port 5190 tunneling." (error message from GAIM when i try to connect using the proxy)
I assume there's something in /etc/squid/squid.conf that I need to set in order to allow port 5190 traffic, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for, I'm pretty new to the networking/gentoo scene and i'm not sure what most of those things mean.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance for any help!!

the default port is 3128. try setting gaim to 3128 first... if you need to change it in squid it should be set as http_port in the configuration file.

well thats how i have it, gaim connects to squid on port 3128. I think the error is occuring when squid tries to connect to AOL's server on port 5190?

Do you have an ACL setup for your location using gaim? What proxy type are you using? Did you try another that gaim supports? Did you restart gaim after changing the settings to get them into effect?

Do you have an ACL setup for your location using gaim? I'm not sure how to do that, i just found something about it and tried to set up one for aim, but it didn't work, the example i saw had this:
| Code: |
acl YAHOO url_regex .msg.yahoo.com
http_access deny YAHOO
|
so i tried:
| Code: |
acl AIM url_regex .aol.com
http_access allow AIM
|
What proxy type are you using? HTTP
Did you try another that gaim supports? I tried Socks5 but that didn't work
Did you restart gaim after changing the settings to get them into effect? yes i did.

Access denied: HTTP proxy server forbids port 5190 tunneling
