HTTP proxy with basic authentication using Squid

Quick HTTP proxy on Windows.md

1. Download and install Squid 3.5 for Windows (default path is C:\Squid)

2. Create file C:\Squid\etc\.htpasswd with the following content:

   admin:$apr1$kWA/DRFy$klaeXRe3S3jIPqc64HTMA0

   This corresponds to username admin and password 1234
   To generate your own username/password use http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator-windows/

3. Open Squid configuration (squid.conf)

4. Add following to the top of squid.conf:

   auth_param basic program "/cygdrive/c/squid/lib/squid/basic_ncsa_auth.exe" "/cygdrive/c/squid/etc/.htpasswd"
   acl ncsa_users proxy_auth REQUIRED
   http_access allow ncsa_users

5. Comment out all http_access allow ... entries in squid.conf (except ncsa_users)

6. Restart Squid service

Web proxy is ready!

Proxy address: http://127.0.0.1:3128/
Proxy username: admin
Proxy password: 1234

For future reference, relative paths work for me too. As follows:

auth_param basic program /lib/squid/basic_ncsa_auth.exe /etc/squid/ncsa_users.htpasswd
acl authenticated proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow authenticated
http_access deny all

Using Squid Server 3.5.28 installed with Diladele B.V.'s installer version 1.3.5.28.

Why dont you share full configuration file? Please

When I paste the upper code into the configuration, after I enter username and pass in firefox, webpages does not open. What could be wrong? Thanks
