Configuring tranparent proxy with squid and iptables
 

Hi
I want to configure transparent proxy using squid and iptables on Redhat 9.0. Currently I am using Redhat 7.3 (squid and iphains).
I have configured router to route www requets to proxy server (ip policy route-map ). I edit file /etc/sysconfig/ipchains to configure it. My configuration for ipchains is:

# Firewall configuration written by lokkit
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
# Note: ifup-post will punch the current nameservers through the
# firewall; such entries will *not* be listed here.
:input ACCEPT
:output ACCEPT
:forward ACCEPT
-A input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 80 -j REDIRECT 8080
-A input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d x.x.x.x/y.y.y.y 80 -j ACCEPT

(x.x.x.x is the network in which our servers are i.e, proxy, ras, router etc and y.y.y.y is its subet).

Can anyone help me in configuring iptables in similar way for transparent proxy.

Thanks

Thanks dear

but the problem is that i have only one eth interface "eth0". should i use PREROUTING and POSTROUTING on that signle interface. i mean is it possible or i have to add another interface. if i add an interface i must use another ip and i am already running out of ips. i havn't got anyother live ip.

should i use:

sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s x.x.x.x/y.y.y.y -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
eth0

is it possible.

Thanks again.

I have'nt tried with a single NIC.But logically it should be possible.Try it out!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks dear
