transparent proxy not working for me.

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I try with two methods,

  1. Method one.
    [admin@MikroTik] ip firewall> /ip web-proxy print
    enabled: yes
    src-address: 0.0.0.0
    port: 3128
    hostname: “proxy”
    transparent-proxy: yes
    parent-proxy: 172.16.0.3:3128
    cache-administrator: “lpdnadmin”
    max-object-size: 4096KiB
    cache-drive: secondary-master
    max-cache-size: none
    max-ram-cache-size: none
    status: running
    reserved-for-cache: 0KiB
    reserved-for-ram-cache: 0KiB

/ip firewall nat
chain=dstnat in-interface=bridge1 protocol=tcp dst-port=80 action=redirect to-ports=3128

But doing this all clients get this Miktrotik WEB-PROXY ( Squid inside mikrotik )

ERROR

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.google.com.ar/

The following error was encountered:

  • Access Denied.

2. Method two.
/ip firewall nat
chain=dstnat in-interface=bridge1 protocol=tcp dst-port=80 action=dst-nat to-addresses=172.16.0.3 to-ports=3128

But this causes error in my external Squid-box, the clients get this page error

==================================================
While trying to retrieve the URL: /

The following error was encountered:

  • Invalid URL

Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect. Possible problems:

  • Missing or incorrect access protocol (should be `http://‘’ or similar)
  • Missing hostname
  • Illegal double-escape in the URL-Path
  • Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed

Does your proxy work, when ‘parent-proxy’ option is unset ?
