I use Squid in basic non-transparent mode & http publish a proxy.pac file (& symlinked wpad.dat), which browers load once at start up. Easy enough to do with base daemons, & saves all that redirect traffic. http://wiki.wlug.org.nz/WPAD http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ConfiguringBrowsers#Fully_Automatic_Configuration "All major browsers out now implementing WPAD. I think WPAD is an excellent feature that will return several hours of life per month." http://findproxyforurl.com/example-pac-file/ Option 5 of http://nscsysop.hypermart.net/setproxy.html http://nscsysop.hypermart.net/proxypac.html http://www.deckle.co.uk/squid-users-guide/browser-configuration.html Unix hosts also have this in /etc/profile: [[ -n ${http_proxy} ]] || . /etc/proxy.env # ---------- /etc/proxy.env ----------- http_proxy='http://proxy.internal:3128' # <---- must be a port number, not /etc/services name https_proxy=${http_proxy} ftp_proxy=${http_proxy} gopher_proxy=${http_proxy} wais_proxy=${http_proxy} export http_proxy https_proxy ftp_proxy gopher_proxy wais_proxy # ---------- /etc/proxy.env ----------- This works for ftp(1), curl, dillo, xombrero, claws-mail, etc.... The DHCP method doesn't work, even with Windows boxes running IE, as the Squid wiki page says. There's also this index.html in the same directory as the proxy.pac file: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";> <html> <head> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title> Browser Setup - WPAD setup help </title> </head> <body> <h1>Direct Access Forbidden!</h1> <h2>WWW access is via a proxy.</h2> <p> For your safety and secuity, configure your browser to auto-detect proxy settings for this network. </p> <hr> <p> | For help, contact <a href="mailto:webmaster";>webmaster</a> | </p> </body> </html>
