hey friends, I am trying to configure Squid Transparent Proxy on FC3 and the squid version is Squid 2.5 Stable 11. I am testing the scenario on 2 machines. The 1st machine is the FC3 and it has got 2 lan cards eth0: 192.168.1.125/24 eth1: 192.168.2.126/24 Another machine is having only one LAN Card running Windows XP eth0: 192.168.2.88/24 I added these lines for transparent proxy in squid.conf http_port 3128 (by default) httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_host virtual httpd_accel_with_proxy on httpd_accel_uses_host_header on I have also added these lines to squid.conf acl mynetwork src 192.168.1.125 acl mynetwork1 src 192.168.2.0/24 http_access allow mynetwork http_access allow mynetwork1 Configured iptables to redirect the request to the proxy from the domain 192.168.2.0 to port 3128 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -s 192.168.2.0/24 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 iptables -t nat -nvL ---> shows the nat entries in iptables Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 1383 packets, 235K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 REDIRECT tcp -- eth1 * 192.168.2.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:80 redir ports 3128 Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT 9798 packets, 335K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 9798 packets, 335K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 sysctl -p net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1 net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0 kernel.sysrq = 0 kernel.core_uses_pid = 1 I am not able to browse from the 192.168.2.0 domain. I have a machine whose ip address is 192.168.2.88 and the gateway of this machine is 192.168.2.126( eth1 on FC3). I can ping 192.168.2.88 to 192.168.2.126 and from 192.168.2.126 to 192.168.2.88 but from 192.168.2.88 I am not able to browse the internet. If I configure proxy settings for any client in 192.168.1.0/24 domain it works fine. I am not able to configure transparent proxy for the test machine. Any pointers what wrong I am doing ? Thanks & Regards
