I have configured squid to run on a single computer like a transparent proxy. I used this mail from the archive as a install guide. http://www.mail-archive.com/squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg48149.html Adding this as a iptables rule iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -m owner --uid-owner root -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 And using this as my config http_port 3128 transparent hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? cache deny QUERY acl apache rep_header Server ^Apache broken_vary_encoding allow apache access_log /usr/local/squid/var/logs/access.log squid hosts_file /etc/hosts refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 # https acl SSL_ports port 563 # snews acl SSL_ports port 873 # rsync acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl Safe_ports port 631 # cups acl Safe_ports port 873 # rsync acl Safe_ports port 901 # SWAT acl purge method PURGE acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager http_access allow purge localhost http_access deny purge http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localhost acl ME src 10.0.0.5 http_access allow ME http_access deny all http_reply_access allow all icp_access allow all coredump_dir /usr/local/squid/var/cache Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE14 configure options: '--prefix=/usr/local/squid' '--enable-linux-netfilter' But when i use lynx I get this output in the browser This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that: * The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct connections to origin servers, and * All configured parent caches are currently unreachable. and this in my cache.log 2007/09/21 14:00:24| WARNING: Forwarding loop detected for: Client: 10.0.0.5 http_port: 127.0.0.1:3128 GET http://www.nytimes.com/ HTTP/1.0 Host: www.nytimes.com Accept: text/html, text/plain, text/css, text/sgml, */*;q=0.01 Accept-Encoding: gzip, bzip2 Accept-Language: en User-Agent: Lynx/2.8.6rel.4 libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 OpenSSL/0.9.8d Via: 1.0 linux.niap.no:3128 (squid/2.6.STABLE14), 1.0 linux.niap.no:3128 (squid/2.6.STABLE14) X-Forwarded-For: 10.0.0.5, 10.0.0.5 Cache-Control: max-age=259200 Connection: keep-alive -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-squid-2.6-on-a-single-computer-as-a-transparent-proxy-tf4495099.html#a12818686 Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
