Squid Proxy Server Change Outgoing IP Address

by

To change the outgoing IP address for a Squid proxy server, you can use the “tcp_outgoing_address” directive in the Squid configuration file. This directive specifies the IP address that Squid should use as the source address for outgoing TCP connections.

Here’s how you can change the outgoing IP address for a Squid proxy server:

  1. Open the Squid configuration file:
sudo vi /etc/squid/squid.conf
  1. Find the line that starts with “tcp_outgoing_address” and change the IP address to the desired value:
tcp_outgoing_address 192.168.0.100

Replace “192.168.0.100” with the desired IP address.

  1. Save the changes to the file and exit the text editor.
  2. Restart the Squid service to apply the changes:
sudo service squid restart

After restarting the Squid service, all outgoing connections from the Squid proxy server will use the specified IP address as the source address. Note that the IP address you specify must be an IP address assigned to an interface on the Squid proxy server.
