squid iptable (make sure kernel has the correct entries compiled

It just works! I stated my objectives and I accomplished them.
Maybe I'm being very dumb. I assumed a situation of router A, with
Squid running on server B. The office staff are using browsers on
client machines X, Y & Z. When a user on machine X browses to a
website, his PC sends the packet to router A. The packet never
reaches server B in order to be intercepted by B. We can configure B
as the proxy in the browser settings of X, Y & Z, but then that no
longer needs iptables configuration or interception mode.
I'm not trying to argue with you, BTW. I'm just trying to learn from
you.
Stroller.
I'm not an expert with iptables but since you have multiple machine on your network your best option is to configure single machine to run squid on it and
forward the traffic to it.
You have to tell us your setup, what kind of equipment you have, it it a small firewall/router from store you build it etc.
How the traffic flow, I might suggest something.
I think in your situation best option would be if router A runs squid if possible; if not router A intercept all packets from X,Y,X and sends them to squid B
machine, B process the traffic and send it back to router A (rotter A forward all traffic from squid B to Internet).
