Hi all;

Iam running redhat 6.2.

I want to set up squid for proxy.

My ISP has a proxy for web, proxy.kin.on.net:8080. I will want my
proxy to use this as a parent, when my computer is online.

What do I need to do to squid.conf to set it up right?

Have a look in /etc/squid/squid.conf for the section
headed TAG: cache_peer and add your parent cache in there.
Remember that you have to specify 'parent' in the config so that
you forward all queries to the remove proxy server.
