First make a file named 'rc.nat' and put the following script in it.
Code: [Select]


iptables=/sbin/iptables


iptables --flush -t nat


1)iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
2)iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT
3)echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Regarding Transparent Proxy

Dear Ricky
Thanks for your tutorial for transparent proxy, I have one question regarding this topic, I have installed squid 2.5 on Redhat linux 9.0 (rpm package), is this necessary for installing net filter for transparent proxy, if yes how I installed net filter on red hat linux 9.0 (is there any rpm package avilable for net filter?)

netfilter.. are you talking about iptables,
well for transparent proxy (it if you don't want to configure browsers) you need netfilter's Iptables installed and they are now in every std. linux distro.

For simple proxy ie using it by configuring every clien'ts browser then no need of it at all.

You can download. search "iptables rpm download" in any search engine.

You have to check if iptables rules given here and in Transparent proxy tutorials are applied in right way.

to check if routing is fine..
Code: [Select]
cat  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward if that give output = 1 then you are fine.

In your client you have to give gateway as ip of the linux box and DNS server as your ISP's DNS server IP. or you can give the ip same as your gateway but depends on other criteria so better give only DNS server ip of your ISP.

Dear Ricky
Sorry to disturb u, but my problem remains same, I wont start my transparent proxy , as told by u the given code cat  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward  returns 1, someone tell me the following solution, pls tell me is this correct ?

Without httpd running on your squid-box you need this line in your iptables-script:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

If you have a httpd running on your squid box, these are the lines you need to insert into your iptables-script:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d localhost --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d / --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s ppp0 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
