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"
