Squid 2.7.STABLE3-4.1 as a transparent proxy on Ubuntu Server 9.04
- by LOGIC9
Can't get this to work at all!
I'm trying to get this linux box to act as a transparent proxy and, with the help of DHCP, force everyone on the network to gate into the proxy.
I have two ethernet connections, both to the same switch. And I'm trying to get 192.168.1.234 to become the default gateway.
The actual WAN connection is to a gateway 192.168.1.1.
eth0 is 192.168.1.234
eth1 is 192.168.1.2
Effectively I'm trying to make eth0 a LAN only interface and eth1 a WAN interface.
I've oi should set the gateway for eth1 to point to 192.168.1.234
my squid.conf file has the following directives added at the bottom:
nly set eth0 to have a gateway address in /etc/network/interfaces
I'm not sure whether
http_port 3128 transparent
acl lan src 192.168.1.0/24
acl lh src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
http_access allow lan
http_access allow lh
i've added the following routing commands:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.2:3128
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128
I set a computer with TCP settings 192.168.1.234 as the gateway and opened up google.com, but it comes up with a request error. Any ideas why this isn't working? :( Been searching continuously for a solution to no avail.
----------------------------- EDIT -------------------------------
Managed to get it to route properly to the squid, here's the error I get in the browser:
