Description

Current implementation of transparent proxy is based on TPROXY.
TPROXY does not modify the IP header so the firewall can be use in bridged mode to scan all passing traffic without modifying any network configuration in the target environment.
But this implementation has some drawbacks:
  • it can't correctly handle squidGuard redirect directives (#2958)
  • it's hard to create transparent bypass based on source and destination (#2503)

The REDIRECT implementation will largely simplify firewall configuration and it will address above problems.
Thus, this implementation can't be used in bridged mode, but this scenario is not supported from the underlying system for now.

From Filippo on #2958:

In squid.conf https port is 3130, but shorewall redirects to 3129.

#10 Updated by Giacomo Sanchietti over 6 years ago

New package in nethserver-testing:
  • nethserver-squid-1.2.1.1-1.ns6.noarch.rpm

#11 Updated by Filippo Carletti over 6 years ago

  • Status changed from ON_QA to VERIFIED
  • % Done changed from 70 to 90

Tested with transparent on green, I can surf.
iptables nat table has a redirect to port 3129 for port 80 and 3130 for port 443.
Looking at templates, I think that blue will work, but not tested.
