Why is my squid3 server not connecting to Google?
My problem caused by ipv6 connectivity issue. Squid3 support both ipv6 and ipv4 protocols. If your server can’t connect ipv6 and remote server prefers ipv6 then squid too prefer ipv6 and can not retrieve data like access logs. First try ipv6 connectivity with ping. If ping does not respond, lets configure squid3 for prefer ipv4 first.
Are there any other websites that squid3 can access?
Most other websites are accessible including stackoverflow.com which I am using through the proxy right at this moment. Any idea what might be special about google.com and bing.com so that squid3 is treating them differently and is there any setting in the squid3 conf file that might be related to such behaviour.
