[squid-users] help with squid setup
hi, my name is Camilo and i'm just finish my quid configuration and iptables. the thing is, i have an ubuntu server 10.4 with squid in it and a router 3G. So, first i build my wifi network, after that i setup an ip static address for my server, and at the end i install squid. When i use an apple device (macbookpro, macbook, iphone, ipad etc) i can connect them to the wifi network and navigate the intertnet, but if i use any other device as client, like Samsung Galaxy or computer with windows i have no internet connection, so i have to open mozilla and give it the proxy ipaddress and port to use, 3128. The proxy server is transparent. Maybe you can help me, i don't understand the reason of this, all apple products works fine, but any other products don't. Thank you very much Camilo

Thank you very much Camilo We are going to need details about what Squid configuration and iptables configuration you used. That might lead to other questions, but will be a start. Also, its best not to use the term transparent. There are many different and confusing meanings to the word.

Do the iptables and sysctl parts of this and it will start to use your Squid: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Intercept/LinuxDnat If you have new enough versions of Squid and OS you may be interested in http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Tproxy4 which can handle IPv6 interception for all those modern devices.

[...] I want to implement linux squid proxy server so that i have better controls that is ( time based restrictions , ip based restrictions and block certain web sites ) through squid ACLS I think i have to implement squid as a transparent proxy server with 2 lan cards on the squid server [...] Hi Simon, you should be able to do all this from within the router if it is a fairly good one The Cisco 88x and 89x series definitely do this very well and as for the 88x are ADSL capable! The 89x can be plugged into an ADSL modem or even Metro Ethernet solution or alternately backup line. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps1018/products_tech_note09186a00800a5b9a.shtml {for ACLs} Anyhow what I'm trying to say is that it should take off the load of adding extra machines and also reduce overall cost too. However if you must use a Squid solution then here are some places to start: http://www.visolve.com/squid/ http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/ and some config examples here: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/ apologies for not being able to help further, however I only use squid as reverse proxy in my network environment :-) Hope this gets you started though!

Setup the squid box as a full router gateway between the two sides, it can then do whatever NAT interception you need for the transparent interception, or simply firewall access or software/people which do not use the proxy gateway.
