Hi

I am trying to make squid over a VPN connection, but no matter what I
try, I can't get it to work. I have squid-2.5-stable-2 installed on a
RedHat 9.0 machine and from within the office it works fine. However,
when I make a VPN connection to the Windows domain from outside, I can't
get squid to work for the connected machine.

The relevant lines I have in squid.conf are this:

acl our_networks src 192.168.2.0/24 10.1.1.0/24
http_access allow our_networks

where 192.168.2.0/24 is our local network and 10.1.1.0/24 is the VPN
network connection

earlier on I also have the line:

acl local_lan src 192.168.2.0/24
http_access allow local_lan

This, I thought, would be sufficient for the local network and the VPN
to work. However, machines in the local network 192.168.2.0/24 work
fine with squid (the access.log file lists new entries when machines are
using squid), but machines connecting through the VPN - with them it
does not work at all.

How can I make the VPN work with my squid cache server?

Thanks

Hugo
