Hello! Im trying to setup transparent squid on freebsd. First of all i tried to use it as parent proxy server only (without local gateway). So my gateway (ipfw, freebsd) forwards packets to this proxy. I have already a box with freebsd 6.3 and squid (Version 2.6.STABLE19+ICAP) and it works fine - my freebsd gateway 10.11.2.103 forwards packets to 10.11.2.129 (ipfw fwd 10.11.2.129,3128 tcp from 10.0.0.0/8 to any dst-port 80). Ok, now about the problem. Im trying to setup a new proxy server. A clean copy of freebsd 7.1, squid30 from ports. I've made a simple config file (tried it on freebsd 6.3 old proxy and it works fine): http_port 3128 transparent access_log /var/log/squid/access.log cache_log /var/log/squid/cache.log cache_store_log /var/log/squid/store.log cache_mgr admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx visible_hostname proxy.on.the.net http_access allow all It doesnt work. <tcpdump -i fxp0> shows me that packets successfully forwarded to new proxy, but squid doesnt respond. <telnet google.com 80> from client machines doesnt refuse a connection, only timeout. When configuring browser to work with proxy - everything works like it should. But its not all history :) I tried to enable firewall on new freebsd. (rc.conf firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="open"). Nothing Then installed a new kernel with options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD Again nothing. Tried the 2.7 version from ports. Tried even squid from sources (3.1 with intercept). Nothing Tried to setup it with local gateway (local forward) to prove its not a remote box problem and still nothing. Please help me, regards, Val Powler
