While this is theoretically true, I've used a transparent proxy for close to 10 years without any problems. Initially it was just squid (trying to speed up a dial-up!) but now I use dansguardian in conjunction with squid. Transparent proxying requires two things. 1. Squid must be configured to handle it. 2. using iptables you set up a rule in the PREROUTING (I think!) part of the nat tables that redirects all out-bound port 80 traffic to a local port (or an ipaddr:port combination if the proxy is on a different host). Of course you'll like also want your computer to do IP Masquerading. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
