Installing the Squid service

If you use a separate proxy server, by default, Kaspersky Web Traffic Security does not encrypt ICAP traffic or authenticate ICAP clients. The application administrator must independently ensure a secure network connection between your proxy server and Kaspersky Web Traffic Security by using traffic tunneling or iptables.

You can opt not to use a separate proxy server and instead install the Squid service on one or more Worker servers.

To install the Squid service:

1. Install the Squid service package. To do so, run one of the following commands depending on the utilized operating system:
   • CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux:

     yum install -y squid

   • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:

     zypper install squid

   • Ubuntu or Debian:

     apt-get install squid

2. Add the Squid service to autostart. To do so, execute the command:

   systemctl enable squid

3. Start the Squid service. To do so, execute the command:

   service squid start

4. Check the status of the Squid service. To do so, execute the command:

   service squid status

   The Active parameter must contain the active (running) value.

The Squid service is installed.
