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??? -- Glenn English ghe(a)slsware.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

But I removed them, as I use Windows as my workstation and there is Proxomitron which is better for my tastes. But, if using Linux, the squid/privoxy might be in use. Privoxy (I think) can not play as a transparent proxy, but Squid can, and it can be chained with Privoxy. -- http://www.iki.fi/jarif/ Today's weirdness is tomorrow's reason why. -- Hunter S. Thompson
