    It may be useful if you would share some more informations with us. Failed how? What OS do you use, etc? Try to be a little more descriptive.

    I try to install squid on centos 5.10
    I'm reading this tutorial http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-rhel-centos-fedora-squid-installation-configuration.html
    the provider is http://www.evoburst.com/

    the error is after resetting the iptables
    Applying iptables firewall rules: iptables-restore: line 1 failed

    Most people here will say that Centos isn't most suitable OS for 64MB VPS and suggest you some more lightweight distribution like Debian.

    Your post update is not OS related. Simple "iptables-restore: line 1 failed" google search offer plenty solutions.

    I'm thinking it may be the vps
    This vps has IPv4

    I'll try with another OS
    thx

    Got this script in a competition I ran long ago: http://www.lowendguide.com/3/networking/transparent-proxy-browsing-with-squid3/

    Try it.

  • Use CentOS 6, install EPEL, upgrade to CentOS 6.6, install squid with yum.

    or

    I'm using this: http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/40043/spi-squid-proxy-installer-incl-authentication

  • Why not reinstall your server with debian? It's much lighter and squid is easy to install.

  • I dont usually allow this but send it a ticket for Tom and I will see what I can do.

  • I'm pretty sure that it's not the Node, as i'm looking at the server now and see a fair few instances of Squid running and no complaints.

    Use Debian, and check google for the error, as that is not due to node configuration.

  • I'm currently running Squid on a NanoVZ plan in DE. Works like a charm :)

    Ignore me, sorry

  • @AutoSnipe I am not familiar with squid. Do you know if I can surf to non-ipv6 websites thru a nano ipv6 vps to my ipv4 home dsl connection, using nat port (different than the default squid config)?

    Yes that's possible. I got it running and it works just fine.

    Thanked by 1jvnadr

    squid works very well with IPv4 :)

    isn't squid already a shell? do not believe you'll need iptables firewall, just configure squid.conf
