Greg2 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I don't believe you can use firestarter with squid transparent proxy, because it needs advanced iptables rules. Here's a how-to I found with a quick search: cyberciti.biz Please note that I've never used it, so I can't answer any questions about that how-to.

Soka Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 You can use webmin to graphically configure iptables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
