Transparent proxy goes one step beyond that. The www request are trapped at router and forwarded to squid server. If the page in cache then it is served locally, else squid fetches the page and saves a copy and send to the router for further delivery to IP which has requested. The biggest advantage of transparent proxy is for ISP. No setting is required at user end, and all the user connected to a router are forced to use proxy.
