Hello Peng,

The following steps are used to configure the squid-3.0 with SSL

Compile squid with the ssl support option

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/squid --enable-ssl

Edit the squid configuration for squid with SSL support (Reverse proxy)

https_port 443 protocol=http
cert=/path/to/server/certificate/server_cert.pem
key=/path/to/server/key/server_priv_key.pem vport=<port in which the
back end server listen>

acl SSL method CONNECT
never_direct allow SSL

create a Swap Directory

/usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -z

Start Squid

/usr/local/squid/sbin/squid
