one thing about this that sucks, is you have to run squid in “transparent” mode,

if you try to run this configuration with a normal squid proxy it WILL NOT WORK. Wish someone would post the alternate configuration for successfully routing traffic to a normal squid thats not running in transparent mode.

Spot on with this write-up, I actually assume this website needs rather more consideration. I’ll most likely be again to learn much more, thanks for that info.

You made a number of fine points there. I did a search on the subject and found mainly persons will agree with your blog.

Hi,

Thanks for your blog.

Im using ddwrt v24 on wrt350n and would like to know if the machine hosting squid is of or down, can ddwrt bypass using squid if its off and operate normally?

im not sure if the above post does what im asking.

thanks in advance.

You need to escape your single quotes

echo \”If it hasn’t, unset \$TRANSPARENT_PROXY manually via the shell.\”

needs to be the following for both scripts (note hasn\’t in the sentence)

echo \”If it hasn\’t, unset \$TRANSPARENT_PROXY manually via the shell.\”

Thanks for the info

Very nice idea. One reason for this would be if you want to log all web access (which squid on a server can do better than DD-WRT because of the limited space on DD-WRT). I have just added the Webmin module SARG. It does an amazing job of analyzing squid access logs.

I have some questions:
1. What is a transparent proxy and why do I need it? I’ve been running SSH port forwarding to 3128 (no “transparent” in squid.conf). I can also just set my browser’s network config to use 192.168.69.123 port 3128 and it works for everything, even https.

2. DD-WRT has something called HTTP forwarding. Why not just use this instead of the IPtables?

3. With either iptables or HTTP forwarding, is there anyway of getting DD-WRT to supply a username and password to Squid – if I have it passworded using ACL. No. Using nsca_auth …?

3. Is there any danger in just copying someone’s IPtables that they post on the internet? I am just learning them and there is much that I don’t understand.
