I'm trying to setup a transparent caching proxy with Squid. I've

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
are you only trying to capture http request from this machine ? if so you don't
need this
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
if you are only trying to capture http request from this machine (the same as
the proxy) then you need to use the output chain
OK, so I changed the line and ran
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
This does make the requests go through the proxy. However, I can only
access objects which are already in cache. When squid needs to fetch an
object from some server, the browser or wget stay at "Waiting
connection". Possibly the proxy's request is being again forwarded to
the proxy.
