Stories similar to Redirecting 1 web url to squid farm to alternative squid proxy

I've just set up a squid transparent proxy inside my network. The proxy works fine, however it seems some sort of caching policy is causing the proxy to instead go grab a copy of the website, it's simply pointing to 127.0.0.1's HTTP web server (which is NGINX with multiple virtual hosts).

I recently purchased a VPS and am wanting to use it as a VPN server. However, it has bandwidth limitations. So, I figured since I already have a local Squid proxy caching things for me, I could have users connect to the proxy and the proxy connect to the VPN.

I am having a problem with squid proxy server and xchat as well as kvirc.

I've configured squid with squid with squidguard and when using proxy in browser it works fine. But I want to enforce using proxy (probably in iptables) in all browsers. Now it can be disabled in the browser settings by user.

My setup is: one standalone pc with ubuntu running the squid and squidguard and on this very same device I want to somehow enforce using the proxy.

In Ubuntu, I am going to start Squid and Squish for proxy setup, but have problems in squid to make every workstation use proxy.

Running into an issue with my iptable rule to redirect outbound traffic on port 80 to a squid proxy transparently.

Here is my interface information

eth0 = internet eth1 = physical interface eth1:0 = 192.168.0.1/24 eth1:1 = 172.16.0.0/24

My iptables rule:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 !

Web Filtering On Squid Proxy

This HOWTO describes how to protect your home / small enterprise network users from objectionable internet contents with help of HTTP proxy.

I have an internal network (192.168.2.0/24) that I'm supposed to connect to a proxy.

I've already installed and test(with a little traffic) an Squid 3 cache/proxy server in a Ubuntu 12.04 box with this IP address: 192.168.2.102 eth0.

We have setup up a apache reverse proxy in conjunction with squid as a caching proxy for amazon S3. A server application is communicating with this proxy layer and caching works just fine saving bandwidth for our customer.

All this was fine until the complete communication was over http.
