I have a Squid/Dansguardian proxy server that successfully works when the client uses a manually entered proxy address.
What I would like to do is configure a transparent proxy server. I am assuming a transparent proxy server would not require manual client configurations that directs web traffic to the proxy server.
My LAN environment:
Home/Residential network
Cable Modem -->
------------------------> Router (wifi/ethernet)
-------------------------------------------------------> Proxy Server (VMWare: Ubuntu Server v15.04 + Squid + Dansguardian)
-------------------------------------------------------> Client 1
-------------------------------------------------------> Client 2

Is it possible the proxy server can intercept traffic from the clients, when the clients have direct access to the router? I don't understand how traffic is "intercepted" in this diagram.
Do I need to change something on the router?
How do I configure for proxy transparency?
Thanks,
Jake
