Re: How to transfer http traffic fro MT to squid

Have you tried this from the hotspot (10.5.50.0/24) network? It has a hairpin nat masquerade. If the squid server can access the internet now, then it must be a problem with routing a wan ip request back to a lan. I just noticed you do not have a masquerade either. /ip firewall nat add chain=srcnat...

Re: How to transfer http traffic fro MT to squid

Your are wrong. Port 3128 is the port that the squid server gets requests from its clients on. Port 80 is used by the squid server to get the webpage for the port 3128 requests. If you redirect port 80 from the squid server, it cannot get the webpages for the clients. Hi, I tried it out and got the...

If your squid server is on the 192.168.50.0/24 network, that will cause an endless loop with this rule: add chain=dstnat protocol=tcp src-address=192.168.50.0/24 dst-port=80 action=redirect to-ports=8080 You must e...

Re: How to transfer http traffic fro MT to squid

You do not need to start out fresh. Just remove any other port 80 dstnats from "/ip firewall nat", and use those new rules.

Thanks i will have to wait till off-peak hour to try this.
I will get back to you surely.
