Squid (Proxy) - Use Wireshark to confirm that the traffic is flowing through Squid Proxy Server

Let's view a Wireshark capture for a Web browser that is not configured to point to a proxy server.

  1. Start a Wireshark capture
  2. Go to www.google.com
  3. Stop the Wireshark capture
  4. In Filter, type http && frame contains "google" and press enter

Notice in this example the packets are exchanged between 192.168.0.6 (client PC) and 172.217.1.4 (www.google.com).
