HowTo use polipo as a intercepting (transparent) proxy :) It's very simple. We need only a little helper software. I've used privoxy with minimal configuration as a "intercepting gate".
my privoxy config: trust-info-url http://www.example.com/why_we_block.html trust-info-url http://www.example.com/what_we_allow.html confdir /etc/privoxy logdir /var/log/privoxy logfile privoxy.log listen-address 172.16.255.254:3128 toggle 1 enable-remote-toggle 0 enable-remote-http-toggle 0 enable-edit-actions 0 enforce-blocks 0 buffer-limit 4096 forward / 172.16.255.254:1080 forwarded-connect-retries 0 accept-intercepted-requests 1 allow-cgi-request-crunching 0 split-large-forms 0 privoxy is listening at port 3128 polipo is listening a port 1080 ofcource we need a standard 'redirection' using iptables to privoxy (iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-port 3128) and privoxy is using polipo as a standard proxy. In this configuration privoxy is (almost ??) transparent and is using minimal amount of resources. Thats it ;) Enjoy.
