I'm trying to setup a transparent caching proxy with Squid. I've
installed Squid, configured it, in particular using the line
http_port 3128 transparent
The proxy is working fine. If I specify the proxy manually, I can
see it being used from access.log, and note the results of caching.
However, the automatic forwarding is not working. First, I've
enabled forwarding with
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Then, following instructions found in the internet, I've run
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT
--to-port 3128
to setup automatic forwarding of http requests. The command runs fine,
and the rule is added:
# iptables -t nat -L
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
REDIRECT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:www
redir ports 3128
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
However, the forwarding simply does not happen. Requests do not pass
through the proxy, everything works as before.
Is there anything that is missing?
Kernel is linux-image-2.6.22-2-amd64, version 2.6.22-4 . Now I'm
using squid3 version 3.0.STABLE1-1, but I've also tried with squid
2.6.17-1, and the results are the same.
Thanks in advance,
