  <section id="Transparent">
    <title>Squid as a Transparent (Interception) Proxy</title>

    <important>
      <para>This section gives instructions for transparent proxying of HTTP.
      HTTPS (normally TCP port 443) <emphasis role="bold">cannot</emphasis> be
      proxied transparently (stop and think about it for a minute; if HTTPS
      could be transparently proxied, then how secure would it be?).</para>
    </important>

    <caution>
      <para>Please observe the following general requirements:</para>

      <itemizedlist>
        <listitem>
          <para>In all cases, Squid should be configured to run as a
          transparent proxy as described at <ulink
          url="http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/InterceptionProxy">http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/InterceptionProxy</ulink>.</para>

          <para>The bottom line of that article is that if you are running
          <emphasis role="bold">Squid 2.6 or later</emphasis>, then you simply
          need to add the word <firstterm>transparent</firstterm> to your
          http_port specification:</para>

          <programlisting>http_port 3128 transparent</programlisting>

          <para>In <emphasis role="bold">earlier Squid versions</emphasis>,
          you need to set several options:</para>

          <programlisting>http_port 3128
httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy  on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on</programlisting>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>Depending on your distribution, other Squid configuration
          changes may be required. These changes typically consist of:</para>

          <orderedlist>
            <listitem>
              <para>Adding an ACL that represents the clients on your local
              network.</para>

              <para>Example:</para>

              <programlisting>ACL my_networks src 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24</programlisting>
            </listitem>

            <listitem>
              <para>Allowing HTTP access to that ACL.</para>

              <para>Example:</para>

              <programlisting>http_access allow my_networks</programlisting>
            </listitem>
          </orderedlist>

          <para>See your distribution's Squid documentation and <ulink
          url="http://www.squid-cache.org/">http://www.squid-cache.org/</ulink>
          for details.</para>

          <para>It is a good idea to get Squid working as a <link
          linkend="Manual">manual proxy</link> first before you try
          transparent proxying.</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>The following instructions mention the file
          /etc/shorewall/start - if you don't have that file, simply create
          it.</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>When the Squid server is in the local zone, that zone must be
          defined ONLY by its interface -- no /etc/shorewall/hosts file
          entries. That is because the packets being routed to the Squid
          server still have their original destination IP addresses.</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>You must have iptables installed on your Squid server.</para>
        </listitem>
      </itemizedlist>
    </caution>

    <caution>
      <para>In the instructions below, only TCP Port 80 is opened from the
      system running Squid to the Internet. If your users require browsing
      sites that use a port other than 80 (e.g.,
      http://www.domain.tld:<emphasis role="bold">8080</emphasis>) then you
      must open those ports as well.</para>
    </caution>

    <section id="Configurations">
      <title>Configurations</title>

      <para>Three different configurations are covered:</para>

      <simplelist>
        <member>Squid (transparent) Running on the Firewall</member>

        <member>Squid (transparent) Running in the local Network</member>

        <member>Squid (transparent) Running in a DMZ</member>
      </simplelist>

      <section id="Firewall">
        <title>Squid (transparent) Running on the Firewall</title>

        <para>You want to redirect all local www connection requests EXCEPT
        those to your own http server (206.124.146.177) to a Squid transparent
        proxy running on the firewall and listening on port 3128. Squid will
        of course require access to remote web servers.</para>

        <para>In <filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename>:</para>

        <programlisting>#ACTION   SOURCE     DEST     PROTO    DEST PORT(S)     SOURCE     ORIGINAL
#                                                       PORT(S)    DEST
ACCEPT    $FW        net      tcp      www
REDIRECT  loc        3128     tcp      www              -          !206.124.146.177
</programlisting>

        <para>There may be a requirement to exclude additional destination
        hosts or networks from being redirected. For example, you might also
        want requests destined for 130.252.100.0/24 to not be routed to
        Squid.</para>

        <para>If needed, you may just add the additional hosts/networks to the
        ORIGINAL DEST column in your REDIRECT rule.</para>

        <para><filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename>:<programlisting>#ACTION   SOURCE     DEST     PROTO    DEST PORT(S)     SOURCE     ORIGINAL
#                                                       PORT(S)    DEST
REDIRECT  loc        3128     tcp      www              -          !206.124.146.177,130.252.100.0/24</programlisting></para>

        <para>People frequently ask <emphasis>How can I exclude certain
        internal systems from using the proxy? I want to allow those systems
        to go directly to the net</emphasis>.</para>

        <para>Suppose that you want to exclude 192.168.1.5 and 192.168.1.33
        from the proxy. Your rules would then be:</para>

        <programlisting>#ACTION   SOURCE     DEST     PROTO    DEST PORT(S)     SOURCE     ORIGINAL
#                                                       PORT(S)    DEST
ACCEPT    $FW        net      tcp      www
REDIRECT  loc:!192.168.1.5,192.168.1.33\
                     3128     tcp      www              -          !206.124.146.177,130.252.100.0/24
ACCEPT    loc        net      tcp      www</programlisting>

        <para>The last rule may be omitted if your loc-&gt;net policy is
        ACCEPT.</para>

        <para>In some cases (when running an LTSP server on the Shorewall
        system), you might want to transparently proxy web connections that
        originate on the firewall itself. This requires care to ensure that
        Squid's own web connections are not proxied.</para>

        <para>First, determine the user id that Squid is running under:</para>

        <programlisting>gateway:/etc/shorewall# <emphasis role="bold">ps aux | fgrep -i squid | fgrep -v fgrep</emphasis>
root     10085  0.0  0.0  23864   700 ?        Ss   Apr22   0:00 /usr/sbin/squid -D -YC
<emphasis role="bold">proxy</emphasis>    10088  0.0  0.9  40512 19192 ?        S    Apr22  10:58 <emphasis
            role="bold">(squid)</emphasis> -D -YC
gateway:/etc/shorewall# </programlisting>

        <para>In this case, the proxy process <emphasis
        role="bold">(squid)</emphasis> is running under the <emphasis
        role="bold">proxy</emphasis> user Id. We add these rules:</para>

        <programlisting>#ACTION   SOURCE     DEST     PROTO    DEST PORT(S)     SOURCE     ORIGINAL          RATE       USER/

ACCEPT    $FW        net      tcp      www
REDIRECT  $FW        3128     tcp      www              -          -                 -         <emphasis

  <section id="TPROXY">
    <title>Squid3 as a Transparent Proxy with TPROXY</title>

    <para>Shorewall 4.5.4 contains support for TPROXY. TPROXY differs from
    REDIRECT in that it does not modify the IP header and requires Squid 3 or
    later. Because the IP header stays intact, TPROXY requires policy routing
    to direct the packets to the proxy server running on the firewall. This
    approach requires TPROXY support in your kernel and iptables and Squid 3.
    See <ulink
    url="http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Tproxy4">http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Tproxy4</ulink>.</para>

    <note>
      <para>Support for the TPROXY action in shorewall-tcrules(5) and the
      <option>local</option> option in shorewall-providers(5) has been
      available since Shoreall 4.4.7. That support required additional rules
      to be added in the 'start' extention script to make it work
      reliably.</para>
