as I know squid can be use a proxy server , but currently I don’t want to use it , but want to use nginx ,I google "forward proxy " , and get some idea : add server { listen 8080; resolver 8.8.8.8; location / { proxy\_pass http://$http\_host$request\_uri; } but when I add the context to nginx.conf , and reload nginx view the website such as [http://127.0.0.1:8080/www.yahoo.com](http://127.0.0.1:8080/www.yahoo.com) get no response ,so can guys help me 🙂 thanks.
