To allow specific IP addresses to access your Squid proxy server, you will need to modify the Squid configuration file. Here are the steps to do it:
Open the Squid configuration file in your preferred text editor. The configuration file is usually located at
/etc/squid/squid.conf.Scroll down to the "Access Controls" section of the configuration file.
To allow a specific IP address, add the following line to the configuration file, replacing
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxwith the IP address you want to allow:cssacl allowed_ips src xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxTo allow access to the Squid proxy server only to the IP addresses that you have allowed, add the following lines to the configuration file:
csshttp_access allow allowed_ips http_access deny allThis will allow access only to the IP addresses that you have defined in the
allowed_ipsACL and deny access to all other IP addresses.Save the configuration file and restart the Squid service to apply the changes. The command to restart the Squid service may vary depending on your operating system, but it is usually one of the following:
systemctl restart squid service squid restart
That's it! The IP address you added to the allowed_ips ACL should now be able to access your Squid proxy server.
