Hi I have been using Shorewall for a while now and find it very useful and easy to configure, I am learning iptables and having trouble getting the bridge to successfully work with squid, although I get it working with Shorewall straight away? Does anyone know the rules to successfully use squid with a transparent bridge? Internet – router - (bridge eth0 – eth1) – local lan auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 192.168.0.253 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.254 pre-up /sbin/ip link set eth0 up pre-up /sbin/ip link set eth1 up pre-up /usr/sbin/brctl addbr br0 pre-up /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth0 pre-up /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth1 iptables -A INPUT -i br0 -p tcp -d 192.168.0.253 -s 192.168.0.0 --dport 3128 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward with no luck ☹ kind regards william _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
