[squid-users] Re: How to make Squid 3.3.8 a transparent proxy?

Problem is here:
>....HIER_DIRECT/127.0.0.1 ...<
Strange enough, squid forwards the request to 127.0.0.1 ....

I am not sure, whether you need 2 ports to be specified:
http_port 3129
http_port 3128 intercept

In your setup, you need special firwall rules, to avoid a loop:
DG forwards to port 80, squid intercepts, forwards to port 80, NO INTERCEPT
THEN (hopefully)
So you should post firewall rules, as well.

Otherwise:
I always did it the other way:
client --- (transparent) squid ---DG --web
because
1) client does not need to specify proxy explicitly (in your setup, a MUST)
2) no need to cache content, later on blocked by DG
3) Not sure any more, whether DG supports parent proxy

Then my setup matched the rules in
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Intercept/LinuxRedirect

Only the line
cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent DG-port 0 no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange
to be added to squid.conf
