Hello

I want to make a transparent squid proxy server in centos. The squid proxy version is 2.6 stable. I made a normal squid server but want to make it transparent so that users do not need to enter the proxy settings in web browser. Even i searched about this on google but not getting it properly.

I have two lan cards on centos system. ETH1 used for LAN and ETH2 used for WAN. And in this squid.conf i written "http_port 172.16.31.1:3128 transparent" and i also added a rule in iptables which is "iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128" but still i have to enter proxy settings at client's web browser to use internet.

I am not getting it that how it will work as a transparent proxy.

Thanks and Regards

Thanks but i have squid 2.6 and this link is for older version of squid. If i do as it was mentioned in that link then while starting squid server it shows error on those four lines.

Need help.

Thanks and Regards

You should be able to take reference from the above link. You can not have a customised solution for you from others. Look at the iptables script for transparent squid there. It should help you.

perhaps something from http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples such as this
