[squid-users] Yahoo Games

I was searching on posts which solved the problem of connecting to Yahoo
games with squid. One post said that it couldn't be done. Here's how I
solved the problem..

Here's the info from Yahoo:

If you are behind a firewall or using a proxy server, you may be unable to
play Yahoo! Games. Firewalls need to open port 11999. You will need TCP
inbound and outbound access for this port. The games hosts are currently
yog1.yahoo.com, yog2.yahoo.com, ... up to yog33.yahoo.com. You will need to
do a nslookup on these hosts to find out the IP addresses.

I added the following to my squid.conf file, then restarted squid and it
solved the problem.

http_port 3128
http_port 11999
