By default, Squid listens for proxy requests on TCP port 3128 on all of your system's IP addresses. Because this is not the usual port on which proxies are run (8000 and 8080 seem to be the most common), you may want to change it. If your system has more than one network interface, you might also want to edit the listening address so that only clients on your internal network can connect.
To specify the ports that Squid uses, follow these steps:
1. | On the module's main page, click on the Ports and Networking icon to bring up the form shown in Figure 44.2. Figure 44.2. The ports and networking form. |
2. | In the Proxy addresses and ports table, select the Listed below option. In the table provided, each row defines a listening port and an optional address to which to bind. Any existing ports and addresses will be listed, followed by a single blank row for adding a new one. In the first empty field in the Port column, enter a port number like 8000 or 8080. In the Hostname/IP address column, either select All to accept connections on any of your system's interfaces or select the second option to enter an IP address in the adjacent text box. Using this table, Squid can be configured to listen on as many ports as you like. Because only one blank row appears at a time, however, you will need to save and reopen the form to add more than one new port. |

4. | Squid will normally accept ICP connections on any IP address. To change this, select the second radio button in the Incoming UDP address field and enter one of your system's interface IPs into its text field. This can be useful if all of the other proxies that your server might want to communicate with are on a single internal LAN. |
