It means that the web browsers don't have to be set to a specific port, when users who know a bit more can use a different browser and get around the proxy. If it runs on port 80 then it intercepts any http traffic without the user even being aware of it, hence 'transparent'. It needs a line or two in the iptables script to work, since the proxy actually runs on a different port and needs redirection. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
