Title: Transparent Proxy server

The Transparent Proxy HOW-TO explains the setup properly   http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/TransparentProxy.html   the only rule you need is a REDIRECT and access from the local interface to the outside world on port 80.   -----Original Message----- From: Eugene Joubert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 7:26 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Transparent Proxy server   Hi, I have the following scenario: My default policy for INPUT and FORWARD is drop. My default policy for OUTPUT is ACCEPT. I am using transparent proxy server in my firewall rules. When I try and access the Internet with proxy setting enabled on my browser I can't get anywhere. When I make the default policy for INPUT ACCEPT my proxy server settings work.... If I disable my proxy server on my browser, add the necessary rule in my FORWARD chain I can access the Internet just fine... My question is this, do you need to allow anything in the INPUT chain if your default policy is DROP for squid to work? Thanks in advance.... PS : If you need any other info please let me know
