Subject: [squid-users] Iptables rules for squid

===8<==============Original message text===============
Hi All,

Thanks Henrik for the advice. Sorry for pestering again, I have got one
more question. I am getting a lots of the following message in my
iptables log where these packets are coming from outside our network. I
was wondering should I open the random ( 1025 to 65535) ports ( udp
and tcp) to LAN and OUTSIDE our network. I am not doing any "OUTPUT"
filtering.

1) INCOMING TCP PACKETs ( some from ports 80 or 21 to random port on
my proxy server, but lots from random ports of the source m/c to the
random ports on my proxy server)

3) Incoming ICMP packet. ( I believe , I can ignore this and not needed
for squid proxy)

The LAN needs to be able to access the proxy port (http_port).

In addition the Squid server needs to be allowed to talk to the
Internet
and your DNS server.

Note: if you are proxying FTP or otherwise making ftp requests from
the
Squid proxy server then you need to remember to have the conntrack_ftp
helper module loaded or else FTP transfers may fail.

Henrik
