Re: [squid-users] Forwarding traffic with Squid

Squid is a HTTP proxy. You can only redirect HTTP traffic to Squid.

Other traffic needs to either be forwarded as is (maybe with
NAT/Masquerade) or use of other proxies capable of transparently
proxying the involved protocols.

If your primary goal is that these services should work then firewalling
with NAT/Masquerad is recommended.
