[squid-users] RC4-MD5 cipher is always enabled?

[Eliezer Croitoru]

What version of Ubuntu are you using?
I am releasing deb packages for the LTS versions at:
http://ngtech.co.il/repo/ubuntu/

I have yet to update the repo db but the latest version of 3.5 is there for 14.04 and 16.04.(with ssl-bump)

Thanks - rtfm often helps. Sorry for that!

Furthermore my certificates were not corresponding to the ecc so I had to 
regenerate them via "openssl ecparam" (not openssl rsa). Kind of obvious but I 
just forgot about them.

The version was simply compiled via apt source on Ubuntu. I'm using the 
current version now (un/fortunately Ubuntu is not bleeding edge)
