trying to configure a transparent proxy with squid (and filter content with dansguardian) in Debian/Ubuntu. If i configure firefox to use it, it runs ok. I had seen a lot of iptables rules to use fowarding proxy to a lan, but i would like to use squid and dansguardin in a single pc that run them and filter web content.
View 5 Replieswhat I am trying to do is use an external transparent proxy for only one of the hosts on my internal network. For example, for an internal host of 192.168.1.8, I want to send all internet requests for ANY port to a proxy server out in the internet at 238.34.232.7 / port: 8080. All other hosts would use the internet without using any proxy server. Is IPTables the way to set this up or is there an easier option?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have searched for this quite a bit but my lack of knowledge of IPTables makes me doubt whether I have found a solution or not. I have very light experience with IPTables as well.So I thought I'd ask here.Basically, what I am trying to do is use an external transparent proxy for only one of the hosts on my internal network.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am new to iptables. We have two Squid proxy servers running in "non-transparent mode" (172.16.0.1 and 172.16.0.2). Currently users have to configure the proxy server they want to use by configuring them in their browsers. Recently I saw an example for redirecting web traffic to a single transparent proxy server.
-A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128
-A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128
Can anyone modify this rule to accommodate my current setup of two proxy servers running in non-transparent mode. i.e Redirect web traffic to the 172.16.0.1-172.16.0.2 ip range.
I have a problem in Eclipse for accessing update sites (for plugins). I am behind a NTLM proxy. Strangely, this proxy asks for a password while in Linux but not when in Windows�
To get around this annoying password issue, I already setup a working cntlmd proxy. I can use this proxy for mounting a remote DavFS2 share, for example. But the issue I have with Eclipse seems to involve proxy configuration. So I decided a transparent proxy could solve this issue. I installed tinyproxy on top of cntlmd, and added the following rule to the firewall:
Code:
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to 8888
Now, I can configure Firefox for direct access to the Internet, and display a web site only if I give this web site's IP instead of its name! I surmise that it's because when configured for direct access, Firefox performs DNS lookups using the local (intranet) DNS, instead of squeezing its lookups through the proxy and accessing a broader DNS (I wonder which). How can I make all DNS lookups go transparently through the transparent proxy?
I am playing around with transparent proxies, unfortunately I do not have two machines to test it out with. The current way I am doing things is the program makes a request to a computer on port 80, I use
Code:
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 1234 to redirect to my proxy that is listening on port 1234. The proxy will send out a request to port 81 (as all outbound port 80 are being fed back in to the proxy and if it sent out to port 80 it would just be a infinite loop) so I want to do something like
Code:
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --destination-port 81 -j DNAT --to-destination xxxx:80
The problem lies with the xxxx part. How do I change the destination port without changing changing the destination ip?
I'm trying to setup a linux box with 3 NICs (2 WAN links and 1 LAN). All http traffic (port 80) should go to WAN 1 via squid proxy and the rest to WAN 2. I already setup MASQUERADING in iptables and I already configured port 80 to redirect to port 3128 for squid. My default gateway is WAN 2. But the problem is squid uses the default gateway - WAN2. setting up the iptables / routing for squid to use WAN 1?
View 7 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.

I have set up many Dansguardian/Squid proxy servers. All of them have been on a network where I could use Microsoft Group Policies to force the proxy settings on each machine. The entire setup is quite easy, surprisingly robust, and reliable as hell.
My Dentist talked to me today and asked for something different. He wants to set his office up as a wireless hot spot for his patrons, and he wants their surfing directed through a proxy server. I plan on putting them on a completely different subnet and independent router. Now, since I won't have the convenience of GP I'm wondering if there is a way to force all internal Port 80 traffic through the Proxy server but obviously not the Proxy itself. I would like to use the router to do this and not the Linux box. Is there a low cost home router like Linksys or Netgear that will do this?

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

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.

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?
** in squid proxy( i already did in safe port list stillnot working)
** IP tables?
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 ?
there's a way to locally proxy or spoof just one web page. That is, use tsocks or hosts or something so that when I run an application that requests [URL], it receives /home/user/myversion.html, but for any other address it gets the normal page. Seems simple enough, if a little unusual... (I'm trying to work around a wget bug.)
