Dear Sir,

I want to implement it in Ubuntu 11.04. Can you please point out the modifications/changes that are meant to be made while installation on ubuntu.

Thanks,

Configuring a transparent web proxy using Squid 2.7STABLE9 involves several steps to enable transparent proxying. Firstly, ensure Squid 2.7STABLE9 is installed on the desired system. Then, configure the Squid.conf file, typically located in /etc/squid/ directory, with specific settings. Set the http_port to intercept requests transparently by specifying the proxy port and the transparent keyword: http_port 3128 transparent. Adjust ACLs (Access Control Lists) as needed, allowing or denying certain traffic. Also, ensure the firewall or network settings redirect HTTP traffic to Squid proxy port (3128 by default). Remember to restart the Squid service after making changes to Squid.conf for the configurations to take effect. This setup enables Squid to intercept and proxy HTTP requests transparently without requiring client-side configurations, enhancing network security and control.

Really?? What else did Chat GPT tell you? Did you notice that this thread had been closed for *TWELVE YEARS*, or that the latest version of Squid is 6?? No one is going to be using 2.7.
