I don't remember how I did it, but I followed an instruction in either squid's or privoxy's FAQ and got them daisy-chained. I go to squid's port and it goes through privoxy. Works good...
Oh, wait. That's not transparent. You'll need a redirect rule in the packet filter on the proxy host. And make it the proxy host the default route. And make the real router to the Internet the default route on the proxy host... Are you sure it has to be transparent???
