Transparent proxy

[Michael Meskes <meskes@debian.org>]

Hi,

do I still need transproxy? Or can I get my firewall to transparent proxy
web access with ipchains/ipmasqadm alone?

I tried by adding the following two rules:

ipchains -A input -s 172.26.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 www -p tcp -j REDIRECT 8080
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 172.26.1.1 8080 -R 182.26.1.2 8080

This does not seem to work since I get a destination unreachable.

Also I vaguely remember transproxy doing some rewriting since the browser is
not proxy aware. On the other hand I'm not sure if transproxy is still
up-to-date since it still lists ipfwadm in its control entry. 

Michael

P.S.: Please CC me on replies.
