I am going on week 2 and still not able to get the squid proxy server to work correctly with WCCP. I am running Squid Cache: Version 3.5.20 on Linux CentOS 7.7.1908 (3.10.0-1062.9.1.el7.x86_64).
I try to create the gre0 interface in /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-gre0 with the following:
Code:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-gre0
DEVICE=gre0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=<random ip address, 10.10.10.1>
NETMASK=255.255.255.252
ONBOOT=yes
IPV6INIT=no
Then using iptables rule
Code:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i gre0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to <ip address of proxy server>:3128
When I try to restart networking I am getting this error message:
Code:
-- Unit network.service has begun starting up.

I have looked for a decent guide on setting up a WCCP proxy server with squid but most I have seen are for older versions, CentOS 6.5 for example, or for setting up a tunnel between two Linux servers.
Anyone setup a CentOS 7 WCCP proxy server in transparent mode, think that is what it is called where no configuration is required on the endpoints browsers?
