RE: [squid-users] Squid transparent proxy and bridge question

keep 3 things in mind

1.the clients gateway must be that ip on which squid is listening on.( your
bridge ip)
2.the clients must have access to a dns server which can can resolve any
query.(which is not needed in manual proxy)
3.ip forwarding is enabled and those 4 httpd_acceel options in squid.conf.

u need only 1 command
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -s xxxxxx -j REDIRECT
--to-port xxxx

now verify through " iptables -t nat -vnL" and "access.log" if any packets
are redirected.
