RE: [cobalt-users] Qube3 Open Proxy

["James Nesbitt \(IHQ Network\)" <ihq-network@xxxxxxx>]

I haven't got the Adapative Firewall installed as I find that it is not that
user friendly in configuring.  I have got our Qube behind a WatchGuard
SOHOtc and I'm still getting the problem.

I don't see the word Squid used anywhere, which checkbox is it exactly?

Regards,

James Nesbitt

We had the same problem a few months ago, what I did was, close the proxy
port (3128) from the internet to the machine :)
First I did it in the Cobalt (with adaptive Firewall) and then in our
firewall.

The Standard Squid configuration is running in both Network interfaces, or
at least mine was.

Kind Regards.

Hi Malcolm.

I have the same questions and problem as you actually.  Trouble is that I
haven't been able to kick the OPen Proxy out the door yet and I'm also
sitting behind a firewall.

What settings did you flip to make it work?  Could you possible provide a
atep-by-step guide (with screenshots if possible) of how you did it?

Regards,

James Nesbitt

Hi Guys,

I've had Yahoo advise me that one of my Qube3s is an Open Proxy.  The
machine in question is on a LAN behind a firewall and has only specific
ports forwarded through to it.

Upon investigation I found that although it was disabled in the GUI, Squid
was running.  I toggled it on and off again then rebooted to ensure that it
wouldn't self enable again.  Yahoo have now confirmed that my Open Proxy
problem has been resolved.

So whats the deal with Squid being identified as an Open Proxy?

Is the standard config really vulnerable?

Why was it running when the GUI indicated that it was disabled?

The Qube3 in question is fully patched?  Did a patch enable Squid even
though the GUI indicated that it shouldn't be running?

Cheers,  Malcolm
