RE: [squid-users] wccp working config example

Another question...should i see the requests from users in the
access.log? (because I'm not)
I'm trying to filter the requests by category (no porn, no gambling, no
streaming....and so on), mas it seems that if I use the Squid as
transparent proxy it doesn't apply the ACL's in squid.conf (but if I use
the squid as my proxy, it works)

Best regards,
Nuno Silva

Normally to NAT traffic coming in you have to NAT the responses back to
the right places, but it gets tricky very quickly so someone created
MASQUERADE to unwind all NAT bindings automatically on response packets.

I'm not sure about speed, but its easy to configure.

Weird, I'd expect a list same as for the -t nat you gave earlier, but
never mind. I thought maybe there was a forwarding rule or policy
blocking things. Since MASQUERADE fixed it, we don't need to look any
further.
