I am looking to see how I could possibly log all http requests that are done by any client on my network, my network is my own personal home network and I am the only user of the network. The http requests should only be logged if the client has been setup to use the server on my network that is running a proxy of some description, otherwise it would just connect as normal and not via the proxy.



I don't need to do any caching or restricting access to specific hosts, only the logging of the hostnames and the requests for files.



I tried tinyproxy, but this was only logging the domain and not the full path, I tried squid also, but I couldn't find much help on how to configure this on what I was trying to achieve, it may be that my google fu isn't that good.



This is a partial log from tinyproxy.



CONNECT Feb 25 20:23:10 [31896]: Connect (file descriptor 6): 192.168.0.51 [192.168.0.51]
CONNECT Feb 25 20:23:10 [31896]: Request (file descriptor 6): CONNECT vortex-win.data.microsoft.com:443 HTTP/1.1
INFO Feb 25 20:23:10 [31896]: No upstream proxy for vortex-win.data.microsoft.com
CONNECT Feb 25 20:23:10 [31896]: Established connection to host "vortex-win.data.microsoft.com" using file descriptor 7.
INFO Feb 25 20:23:10 [31896]: Not sending client headers to remote machine
ERROR Feb 25 20:24:11 [31896]: readbuff: recv() error "Connection reset by peer" on file descriptor 6
INFO Feb 25 20:24:11 [31896]: Closed connection between local client (fd:6) and remote client (fd:7)


Am open to suggestions as what I could use to achieve the above, I am using debian stretch as the linux distribution.

  • You are not being specific into want you want, I was going to advise squid. Give example of logs, and tell us why they are not useful for you.

  • @GerardH.Pille I have since found that, but I find squid very difficult to use for a first time user, and was hoping for something that wasn't quite as heavy and just did the one thing I needed and not lots of other things that I would never need. Currently having major difficulty even connecting to the proxy despite setting up the correct acl I believe.

  • Squid out of the box should do what you need. But I've only installed one ever, reverse proxies are more in demand. Upload your config somewhere, I'll have a look. Please mark your modifications.
