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> <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.

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->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 ?

TPROXY differs from REDIRECT in that it does not modify the IP header. 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.
