Hi All: Problem Description: ====================== Issues fwd'ing from transparent Squid proxy to Privoxy then to the internet. I have recently been struggling to get squid to forward to privoxy for content/image filtering. I have spent about a week googling and have read both privoxy's and squid's FAQs and guides on how each recommend a configuration for what I am trying to do. I am using shorewall as my firewall, and currently don't have any issues forwarding my web based traffic to squid as caching proxy, but as soon as I add in the configuration items that are "supposed" to force squid to forward all of its requests to privoxy, privoxy doesn't actually get any of the traffic (proven by looking at the log file /var/log/privoxy/logfile). Links I have used to try to figure this out: ============================================= http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/config.html - section 7.5 forwarding http://www.opensourcehowto.org/how-to/privoxy/privoxy--squid.html http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200310/0234.html http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ConfiguringSquid http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidRedirectors http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/InterceptionProxy Here are the basic configuration items (that are currently not working): Environment details: ====================== Server: Ubuntu 6.10 (latest patches) Squid version: 2.6.1-3ubuntu1.2 Privoxy version: 3.0.3-2-1 Note: All the elements are on one box (firewall, squid and privoxy) For the purpose of this email, the IP of the all-in-one server is 192.168.1.1. Here are some stripped down configuration items that are supposed to solve fwd'ing from squid to privoxy. <snippet> # Force forwarding to privoxy for filtering to remove adds and other *junk* cache_peer 192.168.1.1 parent 8118 7 no-query # Do not forward FTP requests to Privoxy always_direct allow ftp </snippet> My firewall rule shouldn't have anything to do with why this isn't working so I am not going to include it. But I will mention that I am using squid transparently so that my client don't have the option but to go through the proxy as no other connections can be made to the internet with out first hitting the proxy. Observed behaviour: ==================== So when I make a http request, the squid access log shows date and the privoxy logfile shows nothing but the web page does load. Here is what I would like to happen: Call flow: ============ Browser www request ---> firewall ---> squid ---> privoxy ---> WWW (internet) Call for help! If anyone has any ideas, comments, links/resources that aren't what I have already read, then by all means please post. Perhaps that way that I am trying to do things really isn't possible, but that would be a major oversight on my behalf. I would appreciate any one that has this same scenario to share their working configuration (obviously don't need the whole squid.conf)
