Topic: Need help with IP forwarding using x-forward

[sysadmin]

I have SME7 set up as a firewall and would like to forward the internal IP addresses through the box to my internet provider. I am told that this can be done with x-forward commands through squid.

Any ideas?

I have SME7 set up as a firewall and would like to forward the internal IP addresses through the box to my internet provider.

Why? Internal addresses usually have no meaning outside the local network. They are normally RFC1918 private addresses and not routable, even from your ISP.

I am told that this can be done with x-forward commands through squid.

Squid will automatically insert an X-Forwarded-For: header:
