I have a home network of windoze and linux machines with an IPCop firewall and Mandrake 9.2 acting as server and proxy server. I want to force all connections to the internet to go through the proxy server.
Then you'll have to reconfigure outgoing traffic on port 80 to go nowhere. This is part of the firewall rules, i.e. iptables.
I thought that if I set hosts.allow on the firewall to only allow connections from the server this would work. However, windoze machines on the network are still going straight through to the firewall.
hosts.allow is part of tcpd, which controls incoming connection to the machine itself, not traffic destined for elsewhere.
Cheers, Rex
