Installing the Squid service

If you use a separate proxy server, by default, Kaspersky Web Traffic Security does not encrypt ICAP traffic or authenticate ICAP clients. The application administrator must independently ensure a secure network connection between your proxy server and Kaspersky Web Traffic Security by using traffic tunneling or iptables.

You can opt not to use a separate proxy server and instead install the Squid service on one or more Worker servers.

To install the Squid service:

  1. Install the Squid service package. To do so, run one of the following commands depending on the utilized operating system:
    • CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux:

      yum install -y squid

    • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:

      zypper install squid

    • Ubuntu or Debian:

      apt-get install squid

  2. Add the Squid service to autostart. To do so, execute the command:

    systemctl enable squid

  3. Start the Squid service. To do so, execute the command:

    service squid start

  4. Check the status of the Squid service. To do so, execute the command:

    service squid status

    The Active parameter must contain the active (running) value.

The Squid service is installed.
