Re: [squid-users] behind firewall

jason,

i use iptables for our transparent squid proxy running redhat 7.3
gnu/linux. this is what i place in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local

/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j
REDIRECT --to-port 8088

i made sure also that my iptable rules does not block any port needed
for the server apps my clients are using. my squid is running on port
8088. you should also set next hop to your squid box in your router config.

as a reference, you can try looking at transparent proxy howtos. there
is a link in squid faq regarding this but can't remember the link. maybe
other users here can give the link.

note that i've tested this only on web based voice chat & irc. haven't
done testing on others. my clients are using ie, netscape & mozilla with
auto-detect settings.

hope this helps.
