hi guys I configured a transparent proxy environment using TPROXY following the howto on the squid wiki http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Tproxy4 I setup a tproxy port in squid on port 18080 and created the following iptables rule: -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j TPROXY --on-port 18080 --tproxy-mark 0x1/0x1 But squid does never see packets coming in. So I tried with the following tool: https://github.com/kristrev/tproxy-example The same, packets are not seen. By chance I tried to redirect to port 80 instead of 18080, in order that redirection does not happen at all, and then packets were seen by the tproxy-example tool. Seems that redirection is not working correctly or not at all. I proved with iptables logging rules that routing is correct, because packets are coming in the INPUT chain instead of FORWARD and are marked as they should be. Also I see the following debug output when compiled the tproxy iptables modules with -DDEBUG: xt_TPROXY: redirecting: proto 6 194.232.104.141:80 -> 192.168.11.15:18080, mark: 1 which I would say means redirection actually *is* taking place, or perhaps debug messages are only correct while redirection is not (?). I tried with both, squid 3.2.1 and 3.3.8 and with kernels 2.6.32 and 3.2.54 and combinations. Always the same result. Does anyone have some hints where I could look at in order to solve this?
