OpenBSD : Installing Squid

If you don't know what is squid, please don't think that it's a normal squid that live in the sea!

Squid is a web proxy / web caching for your gateway/router.

The purpose is to cache image,css,js etc that can reduce your router's workload by supplying to the browser directly from your proxy. This can reduce waiting time and make your browsing more fast.

Installing


# pkg_add -i squid
Ambiguous: choose package for squid
 a       0:
         1: squid-2.7.STABLE9p15
         2: squid-2.7.STABLE9p15-ldap
         3: squid-2.7.STABLE9p15-ldap-snmp
         4: squid-2.7.STABLE9p15-ntlm
         5: squid-2.7.STABLE9p15-snmp
Your choice: 1


squid-2.7.STABLE9p15: ok                                                                                                                                                        
The following new rcscripts were installed: /etc/rc.d/squid
See rc.d(8) for details.
Look in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes for extra documentation.
# /etc/rc.d/squid
usage: /etc/rc.d/squid [-df] {start|check|reload|restart|stop}

Yey, now your OpenBSD box will serve as a web proxy :)

Configuration file:
/etc/squid/squid.conf

Transparent Proxy:
http_port 127.0.0.1:3128 transparent

Squid with pf:
pass in quick log inet proto tcp to port 80 divert-to 127.0.0.1 port 3128

FAMPP - Installing MySQL Server

simpler command :) #pkg_add -r mysql51-server from this command it will install mysql server and also mysql client for the server once done we can enable it on boot up by editing rc.conf #ee /etc/rc.conf add this following line mysql_enable="YES" After that we can start the service by this command : #sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql- server.sh start Then we have to configure our root login for mysql which is by default it is blank. By using a password for the root login it will be more safe to outsider :) #mysql -u root #SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('urpasswordhere'); once done try to login using root user #mysql -u root -p Enter password: If that appear then you have successfully configuring your mysql server :)
