Why do you need the transparent proxy? Do you need a reverse proxy to speed up web access (local cache), do you need load balancing, do you need extra protection? > Now my problem is that, the setup ended getting > abused > as it was used to send spam all over. Do you run some kind of webmail? If the problem is spam related, most probably your users are using your wemail system to send spam. In that case, a proxy wont help you at all. You have to educate your users, impose some restrictions (like number of emails a day a user can send) or improve your user selection. Still, nothing to do with the proxy. But I believe most probably you have been banned because of an open proxy. In this case, your proxy does its work even with urls that you dont control and this is bad. You have to configure the proxy to allow petitions only for those domains you control and that are BEHIND the reverse proxy. > My IP got > black listed > on some sites and so on.

You have not been banned because of spam but because you have an OPEN RELAY proxy. Configure it properly. For local users I dont recall right now if SQUID allowed for different behaviour in different interfaces. If yes, configure it properly, if not, try to run two instances of squid or use a different box. > My question now is, how do I get this requirement > properly > set?
