I am trying to get a Linksys router with the latest DD-WRT (v24-sp2) in my house connected, via Comcast, to an external Squid (v3) proxy that I am running on AWS. When I connect over the WiFi to the DD-WRT router, it connects to the Squid proxy, but I get the nasty message (abbreviated here to show relevant part):
While trying to retrieve the URL: /
Note the backlash. I get this when I go to a root domain, like www.cnn.com. If I go to a page under a site, like www.cnn.com/today (fake link used for example only), that returns and error like:
While trying to retrieve the URL: /today
Again, notice the "/today", as if the root domain has been removed, and the string to the right of the domain name is being searched on.
For some background, I have installed Squid as generally as possible, and have done it on two servers with the same results. I get this same error no matter what domain I go to. Also, if I switch my network on my Mac to use this Squid proxy, it works fine. Only the connections from the DD-WRT give this error.
I have tried the instructions on the DD-WRT site with no luck. Others seem to have gotten this working well, so I assume I am making a configuration mistake.
Any clues for me? TIA...
