Hi all,
Is there any way to detect transparent squid-proxy running? I want to share my internet connection, so that administrator couldn't detect this. I decided to use transparent proxying in squid. Will this work for me?
Nothing's impossible to detect. It really depends on how much access your administrator has to your network. Also, some one good at analyzing packets could probably sniff the web traffic and figure out pretty quickly what was going on.
Basically, if you're not allowed to do it, you really shouldn't be doing it!!
So is it easy to detect the packets coming from squid or all proxies are easy detectable?
I used tinyproxy, some weaks ago and administrator didn't see that. But tinyproxy isn't very
functional, so I need squid.
It really depends on what you call easy. Some people are better at recognizing patterns than others, and that would be what was really needed to detect a transparent proxy.
Again, I reiterate, if you're not supposed to do it, you probably shouldn't, and it's probably best not to ask on a public list that any one, including your administrator could read it...
