Title: Transparent Proxy
Post by: J. Edelman on November 11, 2003, 11:02:38 PM

Can I have transparent proxy using a single interface on SME 5.6.  It's behind a cisco firewall.  What do I need to do?

Squid works if I enable it in the browser.

No. The whole idea of transparent proxy is that the traffic is passing through, and can be redirected.

Simply routing all traffic through the SME Server may give you what you want.  (Default gw for all your lan clients is the sme server, and default gw for sme server is cisco.)  On second thought routing all traffic via the server then out via the cisco may not play nicely with other non-http traffic.  Try it out, and let us now.

That could work, but you shouldn't rely upon it, since the gateway settings on the clients might be changed to bypass the server.
