Go back and read David Boles step-by-stepper. I only did as he wrote, and localhost was only set in Firefox in his example.
By default you should already have "localhost" set to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts, here's mine with my local junkyard network:
[root@iam maps]# more /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.104 ru.wayward4now.net ru 192.168.1.103 ima.wayward4now.net ima 192.168.1.102 ur.wayward4now.net ur 192.168.1.101 iam.wayward4now.net iam
So just doing those edits to firefox should make it run just dandy if your /etc/hosts file has localhost set.
Fire up Firefox
click on edit > preferences > advanced > network > settings and you'll see the page he references. click on the button = 'manual', then add the following values:
HTTP proxy [127.0.0.1] Port [ 3128]
That should fire up when you restart Firefox. Did I leave anything out David? Thank you for your instructions. It was nifty. Ric
Well... You don't need to restart Firefox. But it does not hurt. If this continues to be a problem put:
visible_hostname localhost (notice the underline)
at the end of squid.conf and restart squid. It has to read the change.
There is also a way to hide your info from the sites you visit. Someone, I think it is Frank(?), has a really nice page on using privoxy and squid together to do that. That's what I do. I had not seen his page before but what I knew, what he wrote about, was something I know from way back in Junkbuster days. Maybe '82?
