Hey Peter,
Tproxy is working and pretty nice for many users.
You are probably missing couple rules in iptables and might not
understand fully tproxy effects.
I still doesn't understand the issue.
What OS are you using?
If you can tell me more about the system I might be able to understand
the issue.
Are these are the only iptables rules you are using?
What routing rules are you using?
The document:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Tproxy4
is not up-to-date and the current linux kernels are supporting tproxy
out of the box.
If you can share the basic setup I would be able to help you a bit more.
Thanks,
Eliezer

hi guys
I configured a transparent proxy environment using TPROXY following the
howto on the squid wikihttp://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?
Thank you in advance
Peter
