Hello guys, I'm becoming crazy! I am a student and I am working with Squid for a project about content delivery networks. Setting up the system (all in IPv6) I have found out some issues. To set up it I followed http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Tproxy4 because I need a trasparent proxy and for IPv6 this the way. The problem is that passing through I have to start a rewrite_url_program, written in perl. All is working, I pass, the perl file is started and so on. But I have to rewrite the url or to a machine called origin or to the local machine, where I have installed Squid. If I rewrite the url to go to the origin, is ok. When I rewrite the link to go to the local cache it seems like blocked. I am using this iptables rules: ip6tables -t mangle -N DIVERT ip6tables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j MARK --set-mark 1 ip6tables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j ACCEPT ip6tables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m socket -j DIVERT ip6tables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j TPROXY --tproxy-mark 0x1/0x1 --on-port 3129 and I set up also ip -f inet6 rule add fwmark 1 lookup 100 ip -f inet6 route add local default dev eth0 table 100 <= changed dev with arriving interface (for me eth2) It seems that the packets redirected to the cache of the machine with squid are in an internal loop. Can you help me to understand why, and maybe how to find a solution? This mechanism was working with the IPv4 rules for the trasparent proxy (with nat chain), but here with IPv6 the things are different!!! Thanks a lot P.S. all the machines are running - Linux Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.39 - iptables v. 1.4.16.2 - Squid 3.2.2 *[squid.conf]* file # # Recommended minimum configuration: # # Example rule allowing access from your local networks. # Adapt to list your (internal) IP networks from where browsing # should be allowed acl localnet src 10.0.0.0/8 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl localnet src 172.16.0.0/12 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl localnet src 192.168.0.0/16 # RFC1918 possible internal network acl localnet src fc00::/7 # RFC 4193 local private network range acl localnet src fe80::/10 # RFC 4291 link-local (directly plugged) machines acl localnet src 3001::/64 acl localnet src 5001::/64 acl SSL_ports port 443 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 CONNECT method CONNECT # # Recommended minimum Access Permission configuration: # # Only allow cachemgr access from localhost http_access allow localhost manager http_access deny manager # Deny requests to certain unsafe ports http_access deny !Safe_ports # Deny CONNECT to other than secure SSL ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports # We strongly recommend the following be uncommented to protect innocent # web applications running on the proxy server who think the only # one who can access services on "localhost" is a local user #http_access deny to_localhost # # INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM YOUR CLIENTS # # Example rule allowing access from your local networks. # Adapt localnet in the ACL section to list your (internal) IP networks # from where browsing should be allowed http_access allow localnet http_access allow localhost http_access allow all # And finally deny all other access to this proxy #http_access deny all # Squid normally listens to port 3128 http_port 3128 http_port 3129 tproxy # Uncomment and adjust the following to add a disk cache directory. #cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache/squid 100 16 256 # Leave coredumps in the first cache dir coredump_dir /usr/local/squid/var/cache/squid # Add any of your own refresh_pattern entries above these. refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 visible_hostname machine1 url_rewrite_program /home/alberto/rewriteurl.pl -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/Squid-3-2-2-localhost-tp4657098.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
