Thanks, but I still don't understand how this makes any sense whith regards to a transparent proxy configuration. >From the tutorial: >Locally generated packets are mapped to the 127.0.0.1 address. In other >words, this rewrites the destination address to our own host for packets >that are forwarded, or something alike. >iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080 The proxy couldn't tell where the package was destined for, if the destination address was mapped to 127.0.0.1.
