Think about what you're asking. If you have a proxy running without the knowledge of the users, and you filter a site, then what, exactly, do you think they're going to see when they visit a site that's been filtered??? They're then going to know all about the proxy, then bypass it. And if you want to put a web filter in, the very first hit in Google for "how to filter websites with a transparent squid proxy" is: http://sharadchhetri.com/2014/03/20/...isted-in-file/
Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature, and please do basic research first before posting.
Ibam sorry for incomplete information, I am running ap in rapberrypi. This proxy will filter the traffic of this hotspot.
I really need to do it for my internship . A task at internship.

So, this is your homework, then. The machine you're running it on (in this case) doesn't matter. What you're asking for isn't part of how to do a 'transparent' proxy, as it will make the proxy EXTREMELY evident.

...the very first hit. Again, please do basic research before posting. You probably found this site with an internet search, so try putting your questions into that same search engine and see what you get. We're happy to help with specific questions/problems, but you're essentially asking us to look up links to how-to guides for you.

I don't mean to waste your time but i have already looked into google for this and got many sites but each with a different and unclear solution to my problem.
for instance, https://www.howtoforge.com/filtering...fic-with-squid here they are not making the proxy fully transparent as the admin has to install the certificates into the clients' browsers. I think this is not what a transparent means!
Please guide.

..and since you've not told us what, if anything, you've done/tried on your own is, how are we supposed to know??

That's the same link I sent you. You've stated your question, and we understand it. What you haven't said is what you've done/tried, and what results you're getting, and what you WANT to get. Putting "transparent squid proxy block https" into Google pulls up 993,000 hits. Try that first.
