There is any way to redirect an url to localhost:443?

There is any way to redirect the address "meuvivo.vivo.com.br" to "localhost:443" using squid or iptables?

The idea is: when the client connects to the squid and tries to connect to meuvivo.com.br it connects to localhost:443

Solution

  • No need to use squid or iptables - just use an entry in the hosts file. If you're on Linux, Mac or another *nix system, that's in /etc/hosts. For Windows it's on C:\Windows\System32\etc\hosts (if I remember correctly - been a while).

    Just add the following entry to the end of the file:

    127.0.0.1       meuvivo.vivo.com.br

    After that, https://meuvivo.vivo.com.br will automatically connect to 127.0.0.1:443
