Re: Transparent Proxy w/out a gateway?
You will need to inseter something between the PC's and the gateway/router orbe able to configure the gateway to forward data through a proxy. Most DOHO routers do not thave outgoing filters that can handle this.
You would have to set up one of 4 things:
1. Set the router to forward outgoing packets from local LAN devices to the squid server. Might be doable with 3rd party firmware on router.
2. Configure a DHCP parameter to set the proxy (not transparent and is not supported by all clients.)
3. Use a PC with two NICs as the router and set up the transparent proxy. You could set up one PC as the router and the proxy. Set WRT54G as an AP.
4. Similar to 3, but set up PC as router/proxy after WRT54G.
I set up transparent proxy here. I have a wireless AP that all connections are fed through the squid proxy. That allowed me to use squid to throttle the data. Was only a few rules added to iptables on my linux router.
