Hi ,

I need to configure squid for a tranparent proxy ...i have implement this settings in my squid.conf .

/etc/squid/squid.conf

cache_access_log /var/log/squid/access.log
cache_log /var/log/squid/cache.log

acl abc_network src 192.168.111.0/24
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

http_access allow abc_network

httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

also implement this in my iptables ..

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.111.116:3128
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

iptables -L

[root@testnut squid]# iptables -L
