my litle box works now as it should be. got my DNS isue solved, got my smb working, FTP is happy. so time for squid.
installing went well, tweaking conf was ok. tweaking pf.conf was harder. becouse i wanted a transperant proxy ,so nu changing all browsers and machines. testing with squid -d 1 -N to check if all works, opening a nc -l 3129 to see if trafic goes true (to lazy to check the logs, that works to) nothing.... google was helpfull # squid -v Squid Cache: Version 3.4.6 configure options: '--disable-strict-error-checking' '--disable-arch-native' '--enable-shared' '--datadir=/usr/local/share/squid' '--libexecdir=/usr/local/libexec/squid' '--disable-loadable-modules' '--enable-arp-acl' '--enable-auth' '--enable-delay-pools' '--enable-follow-x-forwarded-for' '--enable-forw-via-db' '--enable-http-violations' '--enable-icap-client' '--enable-ipv6' '--enable-referer-log' '--enable-removal-policies=lru heap' '--enable-ssl' '--with-openssl' '--enable-storeio=aufs ufs diskd' '--with-default-user=_squid' '--with-filedescriptors=8192' '--with-krb5-config=no' '--with-pidfile=/var/run/squid.pid' '--with-pthreads' '--with-swapdir=/var/squid/cache' '--disable-pf-transparent' '--enable-ipfw-transparent' '--enable-external-acl-helpers=LDAP_group SQL_session file_userip time_quota session unix_group wbinfo_group LDAP_group eDirectory_userip' '--prefix=/usr/local' '--sysconfdir=/etc/squid' '--mandir=/usr/local/man' '--infodir=/usr/local/info' '--localstatedir=/var/squid' '--disable-silent-rules' 'CC=cc' 'CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe' 'LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib' 'CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include' 'CXX=c++' 'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -pipe' and there is was. --disable-pf-transparent. to get squid working in transparent mode, it has to be enabled. my question, is it safe to download latest stable release (3.5.3 build march 28) and recompile it again ,or is it best to wait for a openBSD release version ?.
