[squid-users] Reconfiguring Squid every few seconds

[Eliezer Croitoru]

Hey Roee,

 

The best solution for you case is to use a network namespace Router between the squid instance to the actual modem interface.

You can attach each modem to a network namespace and leave squid to do it’s thing with a static IP address.

 

All The Bests,

Eliezer

Hello,

 

I have a server with multiple 4G modems with Squid running on it, the 4G modems get an internal private IP that is dynamic (unfortunately this can't be changed),

 

I set up Squid to use the interfaces as follows:

tcp_outgoing_address <some_ip>

 

The configuration works well and everything works great, however, whenever I restart one of the modems (I have many, and I restart them a lot), I get a new internal private IP, and I need to reconfigure Squid, this means that I will be running "squid -k reconfigure" multiple times a minute.

 

Will this have a bad effect on Squid and traffic (I understand this does not cause Squid to restart)? What is my alternative?

 

Thanks,

Roee
