Hi I have installed squid on a debian sarge system which is running off a usb key. Two questions: a) can I run squid the squid cache off the memory alone as to not age the usb key, as I am mainly using squid for squid-guard? Also when cahce with the usb key it seems a little slow? b) have tried to setup transparent bridge with no luck I have used the following options: "internet -- bridge -- router -- local lan" -> option1 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 iptables -A INPUT -i br0 -p tcp -d xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -s 192.168.1.0 --dport 3128 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -> option2 ebtables -t broute -A BROUTING -p IPv4 --ip-protocol 6 --ip-destination-port 80 -j redirect --redirect-target ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 none of these options work, they just make firefox hang and no entries in /var/log/squid/access.log if anyone could help, would be most grateful. thanks heaps William
