Out of interest - why?

What is your objective here - what are you trying to achieve by setting up an 
intercepting proxy for the company?

I'm just curious as to the use case and what you expect to gain from doing 
this, especially given how the world has gone significantly HTTPS in recent 
years.

Welcome.


I want to configure it as a transparent proxy. I dive 
into the internet and find many tutorials but I'm facing a problem in 
the configuration file for which I can't find a solution.




FYI; The most accurate config examples can be found in our wiki
  


The issue is with the keyword */transparent/* or */intercept/* (i have 
3.5.4 version installed). When i use one of them (both throws the same 
error) like:


*/http_port 3128 transparent/*



This option is obsolete.


or

*/http_port 3128 intercept/*



This is the current one for NAT interception.


and then reload the configuration with /squid -k reconfigure/ or 
reloading the service, it stops (or didn't reload or didn't restart). 
This is the output of /*systemctl squid status*:/




Please use "squid -k parse" to test configuration changes. That will 
tell you if there are any major problems and usually what to do about it.


When you get more familiar with Squid there is "squid -k check" to do 
the same tests more quietly, then automatically load the changes into a 
running proxy only if they are successful.



Cheers

[squid-users] transparent or intercept keyword stops the service

Hi all!


First of all I'm and new to squid, recently installed it to use in my 
company network. I want to configure it as a transparent proxy. I dive 
into the internet and find many tutorials but I'm facing a problem in 
the configuration file for which I can't find a solution.


The issue is with the keyword */transparent/* or */intercept/* (i have 
3.5.4 version installed). When i use one of them (both throws the same 
error) like:


*/http_port 3128 transparent/*

or

*/http_port 3128 intercept/*

and then reload the configuration with /squid -k reconfigure/ or 
reloading the service, it stops (or didn't reload or didn't restart). 
This is the output of /*systemctl squid status*:/
