I remeber trying this kind of stuff before but the better option is to use the forward_proxy settings. the basic http_proxy works kind of fine for most apps. on what OS are you trying to do so? In a flight I would read a book or offline content since it's a flight and I will want to do something else but.. this is my angle.

I split it up because the former is what I was looking at a cli to enable it and the later is iptables-save without counters (-c iirc).

I've tried both with and without transparent on 3128 (though I'm not sure how this is supposed to work without transparent as I'm only passing it a url and not http://proxy/url? > > >> Eliezer >> >> On 09/22/2013 03:58 PM, shawn wilson wrote: >>> I'm trying to setup a transparent proxy on my local machine.
