squid.conf and SuSEfirewall2 changes gone wrong.

English Network/Internet

Hi… Recently I followed these steps trying to setup a transparent proxy in my server. After the configuration changes, things went “bad”. So I undid all changes i did in my squid.conf and SuSEfirewall2 files.

Unfortunately things didn’t seem to go back to its previous setup. The only thing my clients can do is to browse through the net, everything else is blocked or dropped, I can’t even ping from a client to an external address.

Later on we found out that the procedure we followed was obsolete. What could have changed?

This is a question that should be put in the suse forum: https://forums.suse.com/forum.php

Unless, of course, you are presently asking this question for openSUSE. The link you referenced was for SuSE. So, is this for SuSE, or openSUSE? This will help those who are about to help you know.

p.s. - I just realized you asked this question twice. You are apparently asking for openSUSE help. Not sure why you re-asked the same question, though. In any case, hopefully someone will still be able to help.

It is a bit confusing because the prefix for the thread is openSUSE 13.1, but the link he points to os for SLE.

For the time being we will assume he is asking for openSUSE 13.1

BTW @kerian2003:
Your post and signature are also confusing because you have a sort of camelback SuSE there which is not how it is written in either openSUSE, nor in SUSE LInux Enterprise.

I’ll have to update my sig (it was a sig that I used from the old days). Thanks.

I’m running openSuse… thing is I didn’t realize that I was following a procedure for a different suse. So after reconfiguration and running based on the procedure, everything went wrong. and I can’t put it back to the way it was before. I wanted to know if the changes I made based on the link above should have changed something in another config of which I am aware of.

Are you using btrfs as the filesystem for “/”. If so, you could use snapper to roll back to the last snapshot before you invoked these wrong procedures

You’ll need to post your squid.conf for inspection, plus your network configuration (ip addr).

Skimming the SLES documentation you’re following, to my eye I don’t see anything “obsolete” about the documentation but of course you’d have to modify the interface names… Unlike what is described in the documentation your network interface names won’t be “eth0, eth1”
