NAME

       firehol-proxy - set up a transparent TCP, HTTP or squid proxy

SYNOPSIS

       transparent_proxy service port user rule-params

       transparent_squid port user rule-params

DESCRIPTION

       The transparent_proxy helper command sets up transparent caching for TCP traffic.

       The  transparent_squid  helper  command  sets  up  the  special case for HTTP traffic with
       service implicitly set to 80.

              Note

              The proxy application must be running on the firewall host at port  port  with  the
              credentials of the local user user (which may be a space-delimited list enclosed in
              quotes) serving requests appropriate to the TCP port service.

       The rule-params define a set of rule parameters to  define  the  traffic  that  is  to  be
       proxied.  See firehol-params(5) for more details.

       For traffic destined for the firewall host or passing through the firewall, do not use the
       outface parameter because the rules are applied before the routing  decision  and  so  the
       outgoing interface will not be known.

       An  empty  user  string  ("")  disables  caching of locally-generated traffic.  Otherwise,
       traffic starting from the firewall is captured, except that traffic generated by the local
       user(s)   user.    The   inface,   outface   and  src  rule-params  are  all  ignored  for
       locally-generated traffic.

EXAMPLES

              transparent_proxy 80 3128 squid inface eth0 src 192.0.2.0/24
              transparent_squid 3128 squid inface eth0 src 192.0.2.0/24

              transparent_proxy "80 3128 8080" 3128 "squid privoxy root bin" \
                    inface not "ppp+ ipsec+" dst not "a.not.proxied.server"
              transparent_squid "80 3128 8080" "squid privoxy root bin" \
                    inface not "ppp+ ipsec+" dst not "non.proxied.server"
