Below image shown is a new hard disk add: -

Below image shown is output of “fdisk -l” before the new hard disk is added: -

Now, once the new hard disk is added, type the magic oneliner command below to detect the new hard disk or rescan the SCSI bus: -

ls /sys/class/scsi_host/ | while read host ; do echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/$host/scan ; done

Below image shown is output of “fdisk -l” after the new hard disk is added and oneliner command above is run: -

You will see a new disk /dev/sdd as above. You can also verify the new hard disk using dmesg output as below: -

First, we must ensure everything are up to date by running the following commands: -

yum check-update
yum -y update

Next, start installing Squid by running the following command: -

yum -y install squid

Now, add the following auth_param and http_access config below in /etc/squid/squid.conf file after line 6: -

# Radius Authentication
auth_param basic program /usr/lib64/squid/squid_radius_auth -f /etc/squid/squid_radius_auth.conf
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm My-Squid-Server
auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours
auth_param basic casesensitive off
acl radius-auth proxy_auth REQUIRED

# Allow Radius Authorized Users
http_access allow radius-auth

Next, include the following config below in /etc/squid/squid_radius_auth.conf file: -

# Radius server and secret
server 1.2.3.4
secret my-secret-here

Now, start Squid service and create a system startup links for Squid so it starts automatically whenever the system boots up: -

service squid start
chkconfig squid on

Next, setup your favourite web browser to use port 3128. You will be prompted to enter username and password to start web browsing.

Finally, with all the configuration above I hope you are able to use and enjoy your Squid proxy server. Thank you.

There are two options to setup the static IP address. First option is to determine the DHCP leased IP address to Raspberry Pi by either looking at your router’s DHCP server lease information or perform a simple network scan.

DHCP IP Address Lease

Network Scan

Once the IP address of Raspberry Pi is determined, you can SSH to it using PuTTY in Windows. In this /etc/network/interfaces file, remove the line below: -

iface eth0 inet dhcp

and replace it with below: -

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

Finally, issue the “reboot” command to have the configuration change applied and it should boot up with the configured static IP address.

Second option is by editing the SD card on a Linux machine. I am using Backtrack to mount the SD card and edit the file using command below: -

mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt

vi /mnt/etc/network/interfaces

Finally, you need to run the “sync” command and “umount” command to safely remove the SD card. Place the SD card into Raspberry Pi and it should boot up with the configured static IP address.

With these two options above, you can connect to the configured IP address remotely using SSH and start configuring the Raspberry Pi.

Login into your OpenWrt and configure the switch VLAN on eth0 as below: -

VLAN 1 = CPU – tagged, Port 1 – off, Port 2 – off, Port 3 – off, Port 4 – off
VLAN 621 = CPU – tagged, Port 1 – tagged, Port 2 – off, Port 3 – off, Port 4 – off

After successfully apply the VLAN configuration above, goto WAN interface and configure the PPPoE username and password as below: -

Next, you need to select “eth0.621″ VLAN interface as WAN like below: -

After successfully apply the WAN interface configuration above, goto LAN interface and select “eth1″ Ethernet adapter as LAN like below: -

Now you need to reboot the TP-Link TL-MR3420 to have the changes apply and it will be able to successfully connected to PPPoE like below: -

Note: The ports label in black are not usable for Huawei EchoLife HG850a and TP-Link TL-MR3420.
