TPROXY with Mikrotik?

RouterOS General
1

I have 2 questions.

I am planning to implement TPROXY in my network. Currently Mikrotik is acting as a router n BW Manager, All users have public ip. Now what is the best way to insert TPROXY in current scenario?

  1. Mark port 80 traffic n redirect to tproxy/squid?

  2. Setup TPROXY/squid in Bridge mode and place it in between Mikrotik n Internet?

Does anyone have simple guide/howto on configuring tproxy in ubuntu?

MikroTik configuration,

  • enable proxy on MikroTik router;
  • set “parent-proxy” on MikroTik router.

you haven’t read my question. I am not asking for MT web proxy.
I wan to setup TPROXY so that tproxy/squid can log users public ip and donot change it, remote server should see my client live ip.

I think there is need to patch firewall for tproxy support in near future. RouterOS uses squid as proxy engine, but need to support more features of that e.g : refresh patterns and …
always we have uniform traffics like windows update, WSUS downloadings and etc …
If it’s done, i’ll dive into my router! :smiley:

That’s no longer correct. It’s been completely rewritten and is now completely Mikrotik source code, not squid.
