[squid-users] Re: Squid 3.1.12 times out when trying to access MSDN

(First of all, I apologize profusely for top-posting; Gmail Java
Mobile client for Symbian can only top-post)

There seems to be a glimpse of light for my situation... In the
netfilter mailing list, there's someone having a problem similar to
mine, i.e., unable to access some websites but no problem with other
websites.

His web proxy is behind a firewall who was DROPping packets incoming
to TCP/80. When he changed the rule to ACCEPT, those websites work.
(Although there weren't *any* process listening on TCP/80).

I am going to experiment with my firewall rules on Monday.

Rgds,
