Disable Caching
Occasionally, CacheRaQ 4 users may have trouble accessing certain Web sites
through the cache. This is often due to authentication schemes in which the
server-side software authenticates users based on the IP address from which the
user connects to the server. Schemes of this nature do not work with caches
because the server software receives requests from the cache’s IP address rather
than from the clients’ IP addresses.
Caching can be disabled for specific server addresses. Both individual server
hosts or server networks can be configured not to be cached. Additionally,
specific client addresses (hosts or networks) can also be configured not to be
cached.
To disable caching for a specific host or network, click Disable Caching at the
top. A table appears listing (if any) the hosts or networks whose traffic is not
cached.
If there are entries in the table, you can modify an entry by clicking the green
pencil icon or delete an entry by clicking the brown traschcan icon.
✍
Note: The Disable Caching feature is available only when clients
are using the CacheRaQ 4 in Transparent Caching mode.
