Ubuntu Servers :: Proxy For SSL Connections?
Mar 11, 2010
I have a small business that I run Squid and Dansguardian on Ubuntu for network proxy filtering, among other things. This works great, but does not block SSL connections on Port 443, such as https proxies. I understand that this is because this type of configuration is a "transparent proxy".
Is there a way to set one up "non-transparent" and, would that filter https?
I cannot blanket block 443, because some sites need it.
I have read that one can re-compile Squid to work with SSL, but not being a super guru, not sure of the implications of doing that.

I have a local proxy server running on my computer, but I want to add a twist to it. I have multiple connections going through the proxy, but what I'd like to is that all outgoing connections Mac Address' will be different from the one the connecting systems. Mask or even alter them, if possible.
Yes, I know the idea itself sounds weird, but I'm attempting a few ideas for a project I'm working and I ran in to this problem. Please note that it's impossible for me to change the MAC Address' on the systems connecting through the proxy (they're gaming consoles, to be specific.)
I'm currently running the latest version of Ubuntu.

I use Fedora 14 and Firefox as my web browser. I use Astrill VPN service. I have the following persistent problem: I start my computer. Astrill is not set to start on boot. I start Firefox. Firefox can not connect to anything, it says 'proxy server refusing connections'. I go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Network>Settings I click the radio button 'no proxy'. The problem remains. I am completely unable to connect to the net. Even on reboot, I cannot connect. On reboot, Firefox is set to use a proxy, although it was not on shutdown. Some init script is setting this. My normal connection is often faster than through Astrill, so I only really need to use it when I want to get at a website that is blocked by the govt here in China.
where Firefox is being told to use a proxy, and how to reset it to not use a proxy, assuming Astrill is not active. There must be something left in a .conf file somewhere which is overriding the settings in Edit>Preferences. Because, if I set it now to 'no proxy', I cannot connect to the net.

I'm trying to configure a reverse proxy for Oracle Database connections. What I have:
Host outside --> Reverse proxy --> Oracle Database
The "Revese proxy" has two IP, one for local and another for outside.I've tried with iptables, but unable.Now I'm trying with "redir".When I do a tnsping database, it works and says OK. But executing sqlplus user/pass@database, it tries to connect but time later I receive a timeout. What i do is a redir from port 1521 in "Reverse proxy" to 1521 in "Oracle database" why this doesn't work or any other way to do it?

I am noticing really odd behaviour after upgrading from 8.10 to 9.10 (via 9.04). My server frequently becomes unreachable. I am using it as an application server, running Apache, JBoss and MySql. Once the server goes idle, all web connections time out. SSH also times out. Usually the server wakes up on second SSH attempt and then everything: Web, SSH etc seems to run fine.
This is a server machine with no GUI. Can anyone point me to power management or other such settings I can tune from commandline? I have disabled power management by adding kernel parameter acpi=off. I still have the problem. The first network connection after the machine has gone idle takes a long time. All later connections run pretty smoothly.

I want to set up my laptop to allow connections to certain users with passwords from anywhere over the internet via SSH but I'm unsure about how I would go about doing this. I only thought it would be the case of setting up the open-ssh server on the laptop then, using my external IP and PuTTY on another PC outside of the network, connect to the external IP through port 22 so I tried this and wait 3 or 4 minutes or so and it says the connection times out.
I have also configured my router to use port forwarding but this doesn't seem to help much either and I have LAMP setup to allow connections to external IP : 80. The only thing I am able to do is access the laptop through the local network by using its internal IP's like 127.198.0.1:22 or something. I was wondering if anybody knows if and could tell me how I would do this as I really want to be able to access my home computer/laptop from my work sometimes, especially if I have work at home which is not with me at work or something.
I know this is possible but I'm quite new to this type of thing and don't know what is going wrong. Have I missed something or do I need to change any .conf files or anything?

My setup:
Ubuntu Karmic Server Edition 64 bit
Dell PowerEdge T610
4 internal NIC RJ45
1 add-on NIC Fibre 1 Gb
Samba 3.4.0
two shares intended for WIN clients
Connections: eth0 (the first internal NIC) is part of a private network of 4 servers connected to a Gb switch. this connections serves as a fast link among these servers to regularly transfer (backup) large quantities of data. Only I can utilise it from within the server room (among those servers, obviously).
eth0: 192.168.0.AA1 eth4 is the Intel add-on NIC with 1 GB fibre connections to the public network of our institution. This is the link/IP my WIN clints have to use to access their shares. eth4: 134.XXX.YYY.ZZ1
My Problem: Despite having including both interfaces in my smb.conf only the internal connection via eth0 lives up to my expectation and delivers up to 50 MB/s. All clients trying to connect via eth4 will be able to see and access the shares, but file transfers commence with speeds severely below 0,5 MB/s with lots of aborts and warnings from the WIN file explorer.
So I experimented with the setting "interfaces" in the global section of smb.conf --- to no avail. I even set samba only to eth4: same problem. Only way to get flawless & fast transfers is the way through eth0. The samba log files of the clients I tried do show some errors, but I fear I am unable to interpret them properly.
/etc/network/interfaces
Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface Intel Gb link via fibre
auto eth4

I'm curious how I can use a Windows client with two separate accounts to connect, at the same time, to a SMB server hosting two shares. (Provided permissions and accounts are all in order)
Scenario:User1 is always logged onto a Windows client mapped to a Public share on a Linux SMB server.I need a way to keep User1 connected to the Public share and then when needed, allow User1 to provide User2's credentials to connect to a Restricted share.The only way I've been able to do this is to disconnect from the Public Share then reconnect to the Restricted share using User2's credentials. (This is the issue because I need to keep User1 connected to the Public share).Is this a limitation of SMB? Or am I missing a configuration? Please point me in the right direction

i would like to know how many connections per sec/min/hour, xampp can handle. I'm going to run SMF forum on my box, because i'm not ready yet with real server solution. System stats are: G31M-S2C; 2x2GB Kingston@920Mhz; E5200@3500Mhz; 500GB@7200 Seagate, all powered by Lucid x64. In a time i will migrate to a quad, mobo with raid support, etc. but at that point i'm want to know how much connections can xampp handle. Because of the forum nature, i think of auto deleting topics witn no new replys in 5 days for saving place (there will be minimum 1 and maybe max 5 photos per thread, maximum size 2Mb for each).

When ever I try to sftp or even ssh into my server I get connection refused.
I have the port forwarded in my router.
What am I missing?
Also I have installed Ngnix so what do I need to do for it to work?

OK, so, basically, not so long ago I had a modem + LAN cable kind of internet setup, and my friends and colleagues had no problem connecting to my Apache, ircd, etc.
But a few months ago my ISP changed it's policy, and now I have a single cable, plugged directly into the 'eth0' port, which connects to WAN (static IP) and, through PPPoE, to the net (dynamic IP). (Sorry, my knowledge in networking is close to nonexistent)
So, now there is a problem. My friends CAN still connect to my FTP and httpd on Windows XP, through both the external, dynamic IP, as well as the static WAN IP, but my Slackware (WAN IP is set up with DHCP, PPPoE - through pppoe-setup, with firewall at '0') is refusing access. No sings of connection is shown in the /var/log/access_log.
Also, VoiceChatter server DOES log the connection attempt, but it refuses connection, sending a 'Auth challenge', and then cutting connection. (The 'challenge' bit was never there before the new net setup)
All connections are done through WAN static IP (though test with netwide dynamic IP yield the same results =)
I run Slackware 13.1, didn't touch the firewall settings at all, and, as mentioned, pppoe firewall is set to '0' value.

I have a question about connections with an ubuntu server. Is there a way to know if the terminal computer (which is connected to my linux server) is using WinSCP to connect (on a Windows platform) or a linux system? It seems they are using the same port (22) and I think the exact same protocol (SSH / SFTP), is there a way to differentiate between the two though? And going farther there, is it possible to limit the connections only to linux terminal computers and reject requests coming from Windows computers?

I have slapd-server running but it seems to refuse connections in a very odd way. Wireshark shows that everytime JavaEE-client tries to connect, only 2 packages are sent. As I understand, in tcp/ip protocol, the first is just "hello, who's there". The last is just a message consisting of ACK and RST. I think RST means "we're done". At this point I don't think any credentials are checked so I don't know what could be wrong

I know Ubuntu can do amazing things, but I was wondering if it can use different Internet connections for different websites.
The Setup: We have 1x unshaped ADSL connection at 4MBPS (fastest available) that's used for office related things, Skype, General browsing etc. We have another ADSL connection, this time shaped and running at 4MBPS, I want to send all requests to facebook, twitter and downloading sites like fileserve, filesonic, hotfile etc. to the shaped connection. Can iptables be used to do this? The unshaped ADSL router is connected to eth0 and has an IP of 192.168.0.1 the shaped ADSL router is connected to eth2 and has an IP of 10.0.2.1 Local lan is connected to eth1 and has a range of 192.168.1.0/24 Can iptables send a certain webpage (*.facebook.*) to eth2 and other pages (*.google.*) to eth0 ?

I have a ubuntu 10.04 dedicated server that I am having problems with. It intermittently cannot connect to any other servers outside its network.
Code:
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
8 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 7008ms
(I have tried a bunch of other ips too and none outside its network are pingable) I'm not sure if this is a problem with my server or a problem with the networking outside the server. I have been emailing my server provider and they keep on insisting the problem is with the server and that their network is working fine. Apparently all of their other servers work and they can login into the gateway and ping 8.8.8.8 from there. So they just want to reinstall the OS, but I thought I'd post here to see if anyone has any ideas.
Here is some info I have gained while troubleshooting: I haven't changed any settings at all on the server for months. I haven't done any updates for about a week. The strangest thing is that this is intermittent, there have been a few times in the last 24 hours where I have been able to ping 8.8.8.8 or other ips, but 98% of the time I can't. I have also tried rebooting the server, which had no effect. I can ping the gateway, and I can ping other servers on the same subnet. I can ssh onto the server from my home internet connection, and I can view webpages on apache, so incoming connections work.

When setting up my server I noticed that I could control the amount of connections; the maximum seems to be 256. My server is currently windows 2003 server which is unlimited connections - before I change the server to F10 I need to be able to have unlimited connections (I often go over 256 connections, I have 25 web sites hosted). How do I do this on F10 or is there a better distro for web servers that have thousands of Internet connections at the one time?

I tried to set up vnc following the steps of this webpage:

which did not work. I changed everything back the way it was, but when I tried to ssh in to my remote server, the connection timed out? It showed nothing in secure logs. I tried to ssh in through webmin, in asked for auth but did not connect. The logs said this:
Jul 30 12:05:10 server sshd[2829]: Did not receive identification string from 209.139.209.100
I tried to telnet port 22 through the shell in webmin and got this:
> telnet 209.139.209.100 22
Trying 209.139.209.100...
Connected to 209.139.209.100.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
I tried reinstalling ssh, but got the same errors...It worked fine before the howto. I can't imagine how it changed something in ssh...

I'm not sure if this belongs in the Server or Networking section of the forums. Anyway, last month I upgraded my server to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Since then, I've had a recurring problem wherein after a certain period of time, the server stops accepting network connections. Ubuntu 10 will continue to reject network connections until someone logs into the server locally, after which time network connectivity is restored and the cycle begins anew. Essentially, the server goes into a "half sleep mode". I say half because the computer is still on and the fans are running.
I've done some searching around various forms and initially figured this issue was related to problems with the Network Manager service (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lu...er/+bug/524454), so I removed the service altogether. However, this problem is still occurring.
I've poured over /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog, but have noticed no irregular behavior. Has anyone else experienced this issues? I'd rather not resort to downgrading back to Gusty Gibbon if I can help it.
I am happy to provide more information if its needed

I've got some strange looking requests in my access_log which I don't much like the look of. Can someone take a look and let me know if 1) it's possible for other people to use my server as a proxy, and 2) how I can stop them.

I'm trying to set up a hot spot using a squid proxy server for network logging of accessed website URLs. I really would like to pass all web traffic through a custom PHP program.Like when a computer tries to access www.google.com it first goes through the proxy server, and then the proxy server sends back a URL like URL...which is then accessed by the end-user's computer.. I'd eventually set up the php program to redirect the user to the requested URL after my application executes.Is this at all possible to do, with or without squid?

I've got LAMP up and working and I'm currently hosting a joomla install on the server. I was wondering if there's an easy way to get a web proxy working on my site. I'd like to be able to use it just like you would at hidemyass.com. By simply supplying a url it'll provide the proxy services for me. I've looked through joomla's extensions library and don't see any extensions that'd provide that functionality. I was hoping that there'd just be some prepackaged web proxy application I could install.
Anyone out there know of any simple way of getting this up and running. I've looked at Squid but that looks like it's primarily a proxy server intended for internal network users. I didn't see any sort of web proxy feature to install on a web server there.

I have two ubuntu boxes. One is a 9.04 desktop edition and the other is a 9.10 server edition I am working on some code that needs to be highly tolerant of bad network connections. It sends transactions to a central database, but when the network is not available, it caches them locally to retry later.
I have the code working beautifully on my desktop box. but when I test it on this other box (the one running server edition) there is a HUGE DELAY every time it tries and fails to send a transaction to the database when the network is down.
I tested a little further, and I found that if i unplug my network cable and run ping somehost on the desktop, it fails instantly saying "ping: unknown host somehost" But if I unplug the cable on the server box and run the same ping command it lingers for about 40 seconds before the ping fails.
Does anybody have any idea why this might be happening? Is this a 9.04 vs 9.10 difference? Is this a desktop vs server difference? Is there some package I can install, or some config setting I can change that will make the server box insta-fail just like the desktop does?

A first server with apache2 installed and configured as reverse proxy, that works great, with this version:
That works mostly, but fail with an oma (outlook mobile access) redirection
It works for all reverse sites hosted, but when we try to connect to oma using a nokia phone, it fails.
I can see in access.log that it hangs on FolderSync istance.
I've used wireshark to sniff packets, and in oma server I can see only three way handshaking coming...
My doubt is: when I'll upgrade working server, also it will not work anymore...
Configurations are the same (I've copied /etc/apache2 folder from running one to new one).

I've just installed Ubuntu Server for the first time with the goal as setting it up as a proxy server for our Apple computers here since I can get neither ISA of OS X Server's firewall to play properly. So far I have the machine authenticating against our OS X OpenLDAP server and multiple NIC's setup ready to be connected to the outside world. My question is does anyone have a preference on what proxy I should be using? So far my search efforts seem to of turned up Squid Proxy as a favorite among Ubuntu users but I can't seem to work out how to get it authenticating against my OpenLDAP server.
