Hi, check you have port-forwarding set to 1 in

/etc/sysctl.conf

Code:
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Add (uncomment (#)) this line if not listed.

HTH, Glenn

Hi, glad you have it working.

I think you may have needed to make that forwarding connecting with iptables rules.

EXT_IF=eth0 INT_IF=eth1
Code:
## -- Transparent proxy to Squid --- ##
#

        $IPTABLES -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

        $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $INT_IF -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
