[squid-users] Missing IPv6 sockets in Squid 6.7 in some servers

Mon Mar 4 19:03:51 UTC 2024

Hello,

I am a Squid beginner and we would like to use Squid inside our organization only as a HTTPS traffic inspection/logging tool for some 3rd party apps that we bought,
something close to what a "MITM proxy" is called but we will not do that, instead we use a self signed certificate and the 3rd party app owners know this. Everything is
100% completely legal. (Ps: I am the IT lead).

We will be using Squid only internally, no outside access. Here is my issue with the current knowledge of Squid: POC running well on 3 servers but on the 4th I get no IPv6
sockets:
ubuntu at A2-3:/$ sudo netstat -patun | grep squid | grep tcp
tcp 0 0 10.10.0.16:3128 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2891391/(squid-1)

and on the other 3 I have IPv6:
ubuntu at A2-2:/$ sudo netstat -patun | grep squid | grep tcp
tcp 0 0 x.x.x.x:52386 x.x.x.x:443 ESTABLISHED 997651/(squid-1)
tcp6 0 0 :::3128 :::* LISTEN 997651/(squid-1)
tcp6 0 0 10.10.0.12:3128 10.20.0.1:39428 ESTABLISHED 997651/(squid-1)

This creates a problem for us since the apps I monitor are not starting since their start routine is IPV6 only and then they switch to IPv4/IPV6, but the start is IPV6 alone.

Therefore my questions are as follows:

- How can I make it listen on both IPV6/IPV4 like on the other servers?
- Any configuration improvement suggestions?

Please find all details here:
So far I did a POC on 4 servers, here is the full config, nothing sophisticated since this is where my Squid knowledge took me so far. Running Squid 6.7 with some basic options
on Ubuntu 22.04 kernel 5.15.0-89-generic x86_64
squid -v

and here is the syslog of Squid start:
