-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi List, My connection to the internet is only through a remote proxy server. I have been using squid to connect to this remote proxy server using the cache_peer option ( cache_peer xx.xx.xx.xx parent 8080 0 no-query default ) and it is working fine if specified manually in the client's browser setting. In my attempt to configure a transparent squid using PF, ( squid is running on the openbsd gateway ) I have found out that the client is trying to connect to the internet using the DNS server configured in the client, which does not work, because the DNS server specified in the client is only internal. This is why squid is working if specified manually in the browser, it does not use the DNS setting of the client, but it directs the request to the parent proxy specified in cache_peer. I think I have correctly configured squid and PF to work in transparent mode since I can see the traffic being redirected if a site can be accessed by the internal DNS server, ( example, websites located in WAN ). any suggestions for transparent squid to work without the client having a true DNS server configured? I hope i have explained this correctly. regards, - -- Kenneth P.
