Lab Support
#1

I’m on lesson 88 which is a hands on lab. But the last question is beating me.
I followed word for word lesson 87 where he does exactly what needs to be done but i am getting errors. I know i must not be grasping something.
I have try 2 things. One put the IP address as i have looked up directly in my lab terminal & copy the ones he has in his terminal. Which i thought was strange seeing as its supposedly the same lab…

Does anyone have any tips or explain to me what they did to pass that lab?

Lesson 88, but what course? A link to the lab would be very helpful in figuring out what’s up here.

The solutions tab for step 5 will tell you what you need to do. TLDR?

  1. get the IP addresses for node02 and web-server.
  2. On host proxy-server, where you installed squid: vi /etc/squid/squid.conf
  3. scroll down in the file until you get the comment “INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM YOUR CLIENTS”
  4. Paste in the commands from the solution tab, substituting the IP addresses where indicated.
  5. Restart the squid proxy with systemctl restart squid
  6. ssh into node02 and add the export for http_proxy. (export http_proxy="http://proxy-server:3128")
    • in /root/.bashrc
    • in /home/bob/.bashrc
  7. To test this, I
    • installed and started nginx on web-server (it wasn’t running)
    • opened a shell for bob on node02 (so the export gets run)
    • ran wget -x http://web-server --proxy $http-proxy
