Using Windows Remote Desktop Connection through Squid proxy installed on Linux server
We are trying to set up a Linux based proxy server using the Squid service. The proxy server is allowing us to browse the Internet, but there are iwo issues:
1. We are not able to send and receive mails using MS Outlook. Please note that our mail server is at a different location with a public IP.
2. We are not able to use the Remote Desktop Connection service to connect to the Windows machines in our LAN to a Windows machine (with a public IP) in the outside network. Please note that we have already opened the port 3389.
Kindly provide some solution with the specific commands.
