Connection failure to websites

Issues

When I access website, it is displaying connection fail error “Connection to 192.168.27.30:80 failed”
When I access https://abc.safesquid.com/ via proxy and login using my corporate email ID, it is displaying connection fail error “Connection to abc.safesquid.com:443 failed”

Root Causes

If the website which you are trying to reach is not up
If you unable to reach to the particular website because of internet slowness issue.
Troubleshooting
Case1:
Check whether the website is opening without proxy configuration inside browser (No proxy in the middle).
If the website is not opening without proxy, then it is not the problem with SafeSquid.
If it is opening without proxy, then run below command to verify whether the website is resolving or not.
  1. Command:  nslookup 192.168.27.30
To check SafeSquid server is connecting to 192.168.27.30 on port 80
  1. Command: telnet <WEBSITE> <PORT_TO_CONNECTON> 
you will get this output if the website is not able to connect
  1. telnet 192.168.27.30 80
  2. Trying 192.168.27.30...
  3. telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
If the website is able to connect you will get below output
  1. telnet <WEBSITE> <PORT_TO_CONNECTON>
you will get this output if the website is not able to connect:
  1. Command:telnet 192.168.27.30 80
you will get this output if the website is able to connect
  1. root@dev:~# telnet 192.168.27.30 80
  2. Trying 192.168.27.30...
  3. Connected to 192.168.27.30.
  4. Escape character is '^]'.
Case 2: If you have server with on-premises environment integrated with directory services. DNS resolution is done by directory DNS server.
To check configuration on local internal network and its address record pointed on active directory (AD) or local DNS server
Run below commands on command prompt for abc.safesquid.com
  1. Command:  nslookup abc.safesquid.com
If the website is resolving to the local internal network e.g. (10.10.11.78,10.10.128.106)
You have to do the conditional forwarding to safesquid local caching DNS server
Go to the path: /etc/bind/
and create a file
  1. Command: vim named.conf
  2. root@swg:/etc/bind# vim named.conf
  3. // This is the primary configuration file for the BIND DNS server named.

  5. //

  7. // Please read /usr/share/doc/bind9/README.Debian.gz for information on the

  9. // structure of BIND configuration files in Debian, *BEFORE* you customize

  11. // this configuration file.

  13. //

  15. // If you are just adding zones, please do that in /etc/bind/named.conf.local

  17.  

  19. include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";

  21. include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";

  23. include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";

  25. include "/etc/bind/safesquid.dns.conf";

  27. include "/etc/bind/abc.safesquid.com";

  29. Go to the path
  30. Command: cd /etc/bind/
  31.  And create a file
  32. Command: vim abc.safesquid.co
  33. Add below lines
  34. zone "abc.safesquid.com" {

  36.   type forward;

  38.   forwarders {10.10.124.101;};

  40. };
Command to restart bind9 service:
  1. Command:/etc/init.d/bind9 restart
verify whether the website is resolving to the local IP successfully or not.
