[pfSense Support] embedded pfsense and external squid ... how?

2008-11-14 Thread lartc
hi all,

i have a working pfsense setup on a soekris

i've also have got a squid server in my dmz and would like to
transparently redirect all http traffic to this external squid
instance.

is this possible without getting into some serious loops?

cheers

charles

In pfSense's DHCP Server config, put the squid's server up address as 
the gateway.

David, you are either joking, or crazy... :)

LARTC, Add a redirect on LAN interface from LAN to any port 80, internal 
address proxy. If you need 443 (or 8080), create an alias and use that 
inthe redirect rule.

Remember to pass traffic from the proxy to the internet (on DMZ)

Angelo.

Angelo, not joking, not crazy... Before having squid installed in the 
pfSense box, there was an IPCop Proxy with a direct connect to the web 
(2 lan cards, one green, other red). To make the clients pass that 
server (in transparent mode), I used it as gateway in DHCP config, and 
it worked all the time...

Important point of note, you cannot transparently redirect SSL encrypted 
traffic to squid for caching.  Squid can't look inside an SSL tunnel and 
so the connections will simply break.  Otherwise, Angelo's correct, this 
is the way to transparently redirect to an external squid box.

I'm guessing the IPCop redirects port 80 to it's local squid instance.
 If your squid is setup this way, then yes, this would work.  I can
only guess at the original posters configuration, but it's likely not
setup to do that.  Squid is probably running on it's default 3128 port
and expecting to be used as a proxy and is using pfSense to do the
redirection.
