Squid Proxy

Sample squid proxy and Dockerfile demonstrating various config modes.

The Dockerfile and git image compiles squid with ssl_crtd enabled which allows for SSL intercept and rewrite.

The corresponding docker image is on dockerhub:

The image has no entrypoint set to allow you to test and run different modes.

To run the image, simply invoke a shell in the container and start squid in the background for the mode you are interested in:

This image should be used for debugging and testing so i've left a lot of stuff in the dockerfile (eg, gcc, python, etc).

If you really want to use this in prod, modify the image to and minimize the footprint (use multistage builds, alpine, distroless images, etc)

docker run  -p 3128:3128 -ti docker.io/salrashid123/squidproxy /bin/bash

please note that the root CA's have been updated (on 1/9/22. You can find the docker image with the original certs as salrashid123/squidproxy:1 (or you can regenerate your own image from a prior commit))

The CA's provided currently are chained (root-ca.crt -> tls-ca.crt -> server_crt.pem. With the combined root and subordinate as tls-ca-chain.pem)

FORWARD

Explicit forward proxy mode intercepts HTTP traffic and uses CONNECT for https.

Launch:

$ /apps/squid/sbin/squid -NsY -f /apps/squid.conf.forward &

then in a new window run both http and https calls:

curl -v -x localhost:3128 -L http://httpbin.org/get
curl -v -x localhost:3128 -L https://httpbin.org/get

you should see a GET and CONNECT logs within the container

$ cat /apps/squid/var/logs/access.log
1668952181.370    112 192.168.9.1 TCP_MISS/301 1560 GET http://www.bbc.com/ - HIER_DIRECT/151.101.0.81 text/html
1668952181.517    146 192.168.9.1 TCP_TUNNEL/200 237935 CONNECT www.bbc.com:443 - HIER_DIRECT/151.101.0.81 -

You can also setup allow/deny rules for the domain:

If you want to use https_port, use squid.conf.https_port. For https_port see curl options like this:

curl -v --proxy-cacert tls-ca.crt  --resolve  squid.yourdomain.com:3128:127.0.0.1  -x https://squid.yourdomain.com:3128  https://httpbin.org/get

HTTPS INTERCEPT

In this mode, an HTTPS connection actually terminates the SSL connection on the proxy, then proceeds to download the certificate for the server you intended to visit. The proxy server then issues a new certificate with the same specifications of the site you wanted to visit and sends that down.

Essentially, the squid proxy is acting as man-in-the-middle. Ofcourse, you client needs to trust the certificate for the proxy but if not, you will see a certificate warning.

Here is the relevant squid conf setting to allow this:

squid.conf.intercept:

# Squid normally listens to port 3128
visible_hostname squid.yourdomain.com

http_port 3128 ssl-bump generate-host-certificates=on cert=/apps/tls-ca.crt key=/apps/tls-ca.key

always_direct allow all

acl excluded_sites ssl::server_name .wellsfargo.com
ssl_bump splice excluded_sites
ssl_bump bump all

sslproxy_cert_error deny all
sslcrtd_program /apps/squid/libexec/security_file_certgen -s /apps/squid/var/lib/ssl_db -M 4MB sslcrtd_children 8 startup=1 idle=1

The configuration above will insepct all SSL traffic but only splice traffic to wellsfargo.com to view its intended SNI (server_name). You can use the splice capability to apply ACL rules against without inspecting.

Launch

$ docker run  -p 3128:3128 -ti docker.io/salrashid123/squidproxy /apps/squid/sbin/squid -NsY -f /apps/squid.conf.intercept

then in a new window, try to access a secure site

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/salrashid123/squid_proxy/master/tls-ca.crt

$ curl -v --proxy-cacert tls-ca.crt --cacert tls-ca.crt -x localhost:3128  https://www.httpbin.org/get

you should see the proxy intercept and recreate httpbin's public certificate:

* Server certificate:
*  subject: CN=www.httpbin.org
*  start date: Jan  9 22:05:43 2022 GMT
*  expire date: Jan  9 22:05:43 2032 GMT
*  subjectAltName: host "www.httpbin.org" matched cert's "www.httpbin.org"
*  issuer: C=US; O=Google; OU=Enterprise; CN=Enterprise Subordinate CA       <<<<<<<<<
*  SSL certificate verify ok.
* TLSv1.2 (OUT), TLS header, Supplemental data (23):
> GET /get HTTP/1.1
> Host: www.httpbin.org
> User-Agent: curl/7.85.0
> Accept: */*

note the issuer is the proxy's server certificate (tls-ca.crt), NOT httpbin's official public cert

Now try to access www.wellsfargo.com. The configuration above simply views the SNI information without snooping on the data

$ curl -vvvv --proxy-cacert tls-ca.crt --cacert tls-ca.crt -x localhost:3128  https://www.wellsfargo.com

* Server certificate:
*  subject: jurisdictionC=US; jurisdictionST=Delaware; businessCategory=Private Organization; serialNumber=251212; C=US; ST=California; L=San Francisco; O=Wells Fargo & Company; CN=www.wellsfargo.com
*  start date: Aug  3 00:00:00 2022 GMT
*  expire date: Aug  3 23:59:59 2023 GMT
*  subjectAltName: host "www.wellsfargo.com" matched cert's "www.wellsfargo.com"
*  issuer: C=US; O=DigiCert Inc; CN=DigiCert EV RSA CA G2
*  SSL certificate verify ok.

Content Adaptation

content_adaptation/ allows you to not just intercept SSL traffic, but to actually rewrite the content both ways.

CACHE

Has cache enabled for HTTP traffic

Launch


$ /apps/squid/sbin/squid -NsY -f /apps/squid.conf.cache

Run two requests

curl -s -x localhost:3128 -L http://www.bbc.com/robots.txt
curl -s -x localhost:3128 -L http://www.bbc.com/robots.txt

First request is a TCP_MISS, the second is TCP_MEM_HIT

$ cat /apps/squid/var/logs/access.log
1669042557.206     75 192.168.9.1 TCP_MISS/200 20927 GET http://www.bbc.com/robots.txt - HIER_DIRECT/151.101.0.81 text/plain
1669042569.313      0 192.168.9.1 TCP_MEM_HIT/200 20935 GET http://www.bbc.com/robots.txt - HIER_NONE/- text/plain

Basic Auth

Enables squid proxy in default mode but requires a username password for the proxy

  • user: user1
  • password:user1

Launch:

$ /apps/squid/sbin/squid -NsY -f /apps/squid.conf.basicauth &
$ curl -v -x localhost:3128 --proxy-user user1:user1 -L http://httpbin.org/get

THe specific config for this mode:

squid.conf.basicaith

#user1:user1
#/apps/squid/squid_passwd:  user1:aje5nXwboMxWY
auth_param basic program /apps/squid/libexec/basic_ncsa_auth /apps/squid_passwd
acl authenticated proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow authenticated
http_access deny all

Logs would show

1669042602.565     37 192.168.9.1 TCP_MISS/200 606 GET http://httpbin.org/get user1 HIER_DIRECT/34.203.186.29 application/json

like i said, its a bit of a large, bloated image.

Generating new CA

THis repo and image comes with a built-in CA (root-ca.crt is the true parent CA that signed a subordinate ca tls-ca.crt (yes, i know, its confusing but i used that subca with that name)). You are free to generate and volume mount your own CA.
