Re: [squid-users] Re: Transparent proxy in the same machine

Amos,

Thanks for your reply.

We did with tcp_outgoing_tos packet marking. (Redirect all the packet
except marking). It's working.

Is it correct or it will create any problems?

Do share your views.

Thanks,

Vivek

You can't on the same machine.

Try setting the environment global:
http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:3128/"

(assuming thats the IP/port squid is listening for localhost stuff.

Then your browsers and other software only need to be set to 'use
system

settings'. That setting is the default on a lot of system utilities, so

it catches their web access to useful effect too.
