Connecting through HTTP Proxy Server

This example will use Squid 3.1.10 as an HTTP proxy server and Xshell 4 as a SSH client in CentOS x64:

First make sure Squid is running on the server.

[root@centOS64-x64 ~]# ps -aef | grep squid
root 1557 1 0 Jul18 ? 00:00:00 squid -f /etc/squid/squid.conf
squid 1560 1557 0 Jul18 ? 00:00:45 (squid) -f /etc/squid/squid.conf
squid 1562 1560 0 Jul18 ? 00:00:00 (unlinkd)
squid 12484 1560 0 Jul21 ? 00:00:00 (pam_auth)
root 22119 22095 0 01:15 pts/0 00:00:00 grep squid
[root@centOS64-x64 ~]#

Once Squid is running, apply the following steps:

1. In Xshell, open the session Properties dialog box and then select the Proxy page.
   
2. Click on the Browse… button
   RESULT: Proxy Settings dialog box opens.
3. Enter the proxy information in the Proxy Settings dialog box:
   
4. Click OK to save the changes.
5. From the Proxy list, select the proxy server that you created in step 5.
   
6. Click OK and save the changes to session properties.

That’s it! When you start the session, connection  will go through the proxy server.
