Hi all,

Bit new to PacketFence but feeling like I'm getting to grips with it
now. Working at a large secondary school in the UK and have set up
PacketFence in inline mode for our wireless guest/byod access.

Our issue is with providing internet - our main network is managed by
our local education authority, internet is only routed to addresses
falling within their ranges. Unfortunately they do not provide spare
ranges for uses such as BYOD in this capacity. Furthermore, internet
is only accessible through their proxy (pretty basic, no
authentication required.)

My limited understanding of the scenario leads me to think that a
squid transparent proxy, configured with an upstream proxy would be
enough to make this work.

I'm slightly confused as to how packetfence works with IPTables as
attempts to add rules seem to be proving fruitless or would it simply
be easier to implement the transparent proxy on a computer other than
the packetfence server and pointing the default gateway of the
outgoing interface to this?

Just some basic guidance really.. am I heading in the right direction
or am I way off the mark?... has anybody done similar?

Regards,
Ollie Cooper
