View 8 RepliesI have installed and tried both squid version as transparent proxy but they just don't work.
I have eth0 which is where my internet comes in and eth1 which is my local network 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0.
My default firewall policy is to drop input output and forward, i have already set my firewall to accept and workout the squid and it is working.
Here is the relevant rules i have on my firewall:
Code:
Here is the sample conf i am using for squid:
Code:
Always_direct allow all When using version 2.7.x i was able to make it transparent when i used the below rules:
Code:
I readed the Docs on the squid page but the above rules can't be reproduced to 3.1 and i don't wish to use such rules to make it transparent or hidden so i want some help to figure out why it inst transparent.
I am using Fedora 9, I have compile the squid with source code, i also deleted the old RPM of squid. i then edited the squid.conf in /usr/local/squid/etc and set http_port 3128 transparent and allowed in my acl to my local network but the transparent proxy is not working. if i remove transparent proxy then squid works fine. when i try to make it transparent the squid access.log file does not show any request coming to it (no activity). i have also forwarded all the incoming traffic to squid port 3128. Can anybody tell me why my transparent proxy is not functional.

squid transparent proxy is working properly.
I'm using a Debian box as a gateway. I'm planning on bridging my DLink 604T modem/router so that traffic on the LAN goes to my gateway (which only has one NIC). The Debian box is running a PPPoe application which I'm hoping to log into the ISP through the DLink. I plan to configure the box as a squid transparent proxy. Most Howtos I've seen use NAT with 2 NICs, eth0 for the LAN and eth1 for the Internet. Any step-through to set up NAT for this?

I made a normal squid server but want to make it transparent so that users do not need to enter the proxy settings in web browser. Even i searched about this on google but not getting it properly.I have two lan cards on centos system. ETH1 used for LAN and ETH2 used for WAN. And in this squid.conf i written "http_port 172.16.31.1:3128 transparent" and i also added a rule in iptables which is "iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128" but still i have to enter proxy settings at client's web browser to use internet

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up squid to make switching proxies easier. I have a laptop which I use at work and at home. At work, I need to connect to the internet via a authenticated proxy. At home, I connect directly to via mobile broadband. So I end up switching proxy settings twice daily, which is just irritating! To solve this I want to set up a system whereby I never have to worry about a proxy - my browser sees a direct internet connection which squid (on my computer) intercepts and forwards either to the mobile broadband connection or to the work proxy (along with the required authentication) depending on which is available. I've read various articles on how to do clever things with iptables and squid, but I don't understand enough of the networking jargon or concepts to know when I need to change to make it work in my situation, or if it is even possible.

Everything works fine for the users provided that I set up the proxy details manually on each client pc.I want to set up the Squid to run as a transparent proxy and after reading around I have done the following.In the Squid3 conf file I have entered http_port 3148 transparent.Dropping to Root ( sudo -i )However the transparent proxy does not work and if I enter iptables -L I can see that the rule above has not been retained. The default rules in iptables only show up.

Need a bit of help from the linux community. Lately, I have been trying to configure squid as transparent proxy on my server running on RHEL5. I had gone through few articles on web abt how to configure it and configured squid accordingly adding http_accel_xyz settings and then configuring the NAT using iptables. But while restarting squid there were warnings about "unrecognized: http_accel_..." in parseConfigFile.What I could get from these is that probably I need to recompile squid adding transparent proxy support. I downloaded the new squid 3.0 and tried to compile it.But unfortunately, the 'make' command fails giving library errors.I have been stuck with t now as the new squid does not compile and old one does not support the transparent mode.could compile the new one and what supporting libraries do I need to compile it successfully and also from where can
View 7 Replies View RelatedI need to set up an ip table and a transparent squid proxy as followed: I have 3 machine: Machine 1 works as a squid proxy. It has 2 interface eth1 and eth2.
eth1: 192.168.99.2 (Connect to eth1 of machine 2)
eth2: 192.168.98.2 (Connect to eth1 of machine 3)
machine 2 works as a webserver

my responsibility is to send all tcp traffic from machine 3 at port 80 to my squid proxy.

My skill in fedora linux is all acquired by reading online and trial and error. I manage to set up my squid 3.0 proxy server in fedora 11. It is working smoothly as I wanted it to be. I have one client who is running bittorrent that drags all the bandwidth of our network.The problem is I cant make my server work tranparently. I want to make transparent proxy so that it can support my wireless router and I want to control the bandwidth to a fair level for everyone without them knowing.
Please somebody help me configure iptables in step by step, specifically in fedora 11. And all other necessary configuration needed to run my transparent squid 3.0 proxy in fedora 11.I know there's a lot of Linux Genius here that can help. Please help me I needed it badly.

I am trying to fight problems with nfs on a loadbalanced webserver and sometimes when I get a ton of hits it seems that nfs is not quite able to handle the read requests and the load goes high on nodes. I will try to replace nfs soon with either gfs or glusterfs, but in the meanwhile I thought that it would be a lot better if there would not be so much traffic going on over any network file system.
So basically, I don know yet if it possible, but has any of you ever set up squid to be a cache server for static info like pictures and css only ? I really cant have squid cashing everything as html, since the site is very dynamic. I have 1 resource controller that serves all files for the nodes, a seperate sql server and loadbalanced nodes that handle only apache and APC atm. But I was thinking of adding squid transparent proxy caching on to them to have less traffic over nfs.
Here is my network diagram ADSL router----firewall--LAN inside the LAN my squid is running. currently all users are working with out proxy server. I installed the proxy server inside the LAN. now all users can access web browsing ,but no other ports are working , like POP3, smtp, then some other TCP port based applications are not working. My firewall ( juniper) is created and tested the rules to allow the POP3 and smtp and selected poprts which is working , but I redirected through squid proxy server the clients are not able to access. where do I have to create rules?

I am trying to set up my squid3 proxy as a transparent proxy - right now, I have to manually configure browsers to access via proxy. I understand that I have to put some rules into Iptables and also some further directives in the squid.conf.
I have a couple of specific questions. The proxy server is running on a Ubuntu 10.04 workstation and this machine also acts as a dhcp server for the network. I have just one subnet , namely 192.168.0.1-254 There is only 1 network card. Is it much easier to put in a second network card or is it just as easy to configure the existing lan card as a dual IP?
Is it necessary to configure these 2 IP's ( whether they are via 2 lan cards or dual IP on single card ) to be on different subnets. i.e ETH0 192.168.0.1 and ETH1 192.168.1.1 or is ok to have something like ETH0 192.168.0.1 and ETH1 192.168.0.254 ( where ETH0 is the one facing the LAN and ETH1 points to the modem router / switch i.e The Internet ) Where specifically do I save the Iptables rule configuration file and what must I call it ?
I would like to ask some help and tutorial for setting up and how to configure squid proxy server in my (Home PC Server). I am a newbie in Linux Centos.
