Re: [squid-users] Allow untrusted ssl connections

Can you report back with your version of Squid, and configuration?

Hello,

I'm using Squid Proxy to access my home network while I'm away from
the house ... I'm running into a bit of trouble with SSL connections.
Using just a plain 'ol connection to the internet, occasionally ,
Firefox will warn me of "Untrusted Connection" on certain websites
that I visit. I believe this is due to either invalid SSL certs or
self-signed SSL certs. Either way, I do trust these sites ... some of
them are my own! I tell Firefox that it's ok and it will let me view
the sites as normal.

The problem arises when I try to access those same sites through my
home Squid Proxy instead of directly connecting to the internet. When
I do that, Firefox throws a "Problem loading page error" :
------------------------------
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 8.8.8.8:2096.
    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try
again in a few
          moments.

    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's
network
          connection.

    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or
proxy, make sure
          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
-----------------------------

I'm assuming this is a security configuration, but I really need to be
able to access those sites through Squid Proxy. For years, I've been
using OpenSSH with SpoonProxy (Windows-based) and it worked
flawlessly, but this week I thought I'd make the switch to Squid Proxy
to see if I noticed any improvements. I did notice many speed
improvements, and this is the only problem that I've run into, so I'm
hoping you can help me resolve it.

Thanks - look forward to your reply!
