1. First of all, rc.local is a file and not a folder. In this file you can add commands, scripts to be run after the boot process is over and all the system services have been started (but before the login prompt appears). 2. These commands mean the following: a. Flush (or delete) the existing iptables rules in the filter table b. Flush (or delete) the existing iptables rules in the nat table c. Change the source IP address of the forwarded packets going out from the eth0 network interface to the IP address of interface. d. Redirect the packets (meant to be forwarded) entering from the network interface eth1, destined for port 80 to port 3128 on the same system. You should be able to set up routing for a transparent proxy using these commands / rules.
