RE: SSL/HTTPS and transparent proxy

You may want to try using the IP port forwarding feature of Linux. More
information is available at
http://www.monmouth.demon.co.uk/ipsubs/portforwarding.html and
http://juanjox.linuxhq.com/. It is embedded in 2.2 kernels, although it is
marked as "experimental". You can then set up packet filtering to accept
connections as required.
