Hi,
I found the transparent proxy setup but when i applied and i acess website like www.whatismyip.com then it is showing that user is behind proxy, can you suggest how can i resolve this issue ? i want to make proxy & cache server but user should not get idea that there is some cache server or proxy server running in network
Thanks
Transparent proxy = no setup required on client computer.
Transparent proxy does NOT mean invisible. If you want a more advanced proxy, you may need to use a 3rd party proxy.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply, can you suggest me how can i connect 3rd party the proxy ??

There has already been a good discussion about it:

Hi,
Understood, great help but like to know will that block traffic if we want to restrict the same then ?? also what hardware is suggestable ?

you want to block traffic with third party proxy? yes you can. but you need to get support from whatever proxy you are using (squid or whatever).
hardware? it depends how much caching and usage you will have through it. again, if you are using a 3rd party proxy, you need to get support from them on it.
Using Mikrotik proxy, you can’t hide proxy status showing at whatismyip.com
However if you redirect users to external proxy like SQUID , you can hide it via using following directive in squid.conf
via off
