I search through forum but cannot found situation which is similar to me
Is it possible to:
clients->MT->squidbox → MT → internet
Im not working with private pools only public pools (routed ip)
MT have 3 ethers(one for clients, one for squid box, one for internet)
squid have one ethernet port
any options?
Solved!
hello nina, would you be nice enough to share what you found out. I am using:
/ip firewall nat
chain=dstnat action=dst-nat to-addresses=172.16.1.1 to-ports=3128
protocol=tcp src-address=172.16.0.2 in-interface=ether2 dst-port=80
Getting error “The requested URL could not be retrieved”
The following error was encountered:
Invalid Request
However everything works fine if i disable the nat rule and place the proxy info into Internet Exploder. I am wondering if this is similar to what you encountered.
Doing thia for a school. We are using dansguardian with squid along with mikrotik transparent proxy.
I use port 8080 for dansguardian. If you don’t use dansguardian I think you’d use squid port 3128
ofcourse

OK I have solved the issue with the proxy not loading pages for the end users. In the webmin under squid → Proxy and Networking. The proxy addresses and ports Option field needs the word “Transparent” without quotes. However I am running into an issues with the proxy timing out on pings when running the squid service, also clients are complaining that some pages will not load or that the internet is running very slow. If anyone has some insist on this issue please let us know, but i imagine this is a question for the squid forum at this point.
Rumiclord,
1.You must have good hardware for proxy, min core 2 duo, 4gb ram and etc etc
2.Squid.conf must be very well optimized to get maximum performance.

The hardware is not the issue. I think i found some threads about needing to upgrade to a new squid version, then something about webmin needed to be recompiled, but real work has side tracked me from this issue. I will post results when I get a working config.
