therefore, I am trying to create a proxy server for my crawler, and I'm not sure why I am being deprived even of myself. When I go to any website in a browser, on the computer on which I installed Squid and all that, it gives me the following error message:
ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/
The following error was encountered:
Access Denied.

I changed my LAN settings in the Internet settings to allow the proxy server with the correct IP address (IPv4 when starting ipconfig), gave it the correct port to open, and I also opened the port in my Windows firewall.
The following are the segments of my squid.conf file:
acl SSL_ports port 443
acl Safe_ports port 80 # http
acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp
acl Safe_ports port 443 # https
acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher
acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais
acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports
acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt
acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http
acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker
acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http
acl CONNECT method CONNECT
acl localhost src 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.255
http_access allow localhost
(skip through some commented out segments....)
http_access allow manager localhost
http_access allow localnet
As you can tell, I removed a lot of unnecessary comments. Down below, I have ...
http_port
... line.
