The transparent proxy forces the user to use the proxy server.
I have implemented a similar scheme a cyber cafe.
1. All the request to port 80 from all IP are diverted to port 81 where a
small perl script is running.
2. The script asks for the password and if correct, the http request for
that particular IP are directed to port 3128.
Not to mention, ip tables are extensively used here.
3. The perl script keeps the log of IP and time logged in, and kicks off the
user after one hour, by diverting the http request to port 81 again
requiring auth.
