I am trying to set up my squid3 proxy as a transparent proxy - right now, I have to manually configure browsers to access via proxy.
I understand that I have to put some rules into Iptables and also some further directives in the squid.conf.
I have a couple of specific questions.
The proxy server is running on a Ubuntu 10.04 workstation and this machine also acts as a dhcp server for the network. I have just one subnet , namely 192.168.0.1-254
There is only 1 network card. Is it much easier to put in a second network card or is it just as easy to configure the existing lan card as a dual IP ?
Is it necessary to configure these 2 IP's ( whether they are via 2 lan cards or dual IP on single card ) to be on different subnets.
i.e ETH0 192.168.0.1 and ETH1 192.168.1.1 or is ok to have something like
ETH0 192.168.0.1 and ETH1 192.168.0.254
( where ETH0 is the one facing the LAN and ETH1 points to the modem router / switch i.e The Internet )
Where specifically do I save the Iptables rule configuration file and what must I call it ?
