Hi,

Tiny little school, not much budget, got a few tablets in that ideally need a transparent proxy to function in life. Their internet connection is LEA provided, one level of filtering with no authentication to the proxy itself (you just specify the address and port and away you go). Just wondering if there is any software/OS that could sit ideally on a VM (but I'll take a physical box if I have to!) and sit between the internet connection and the LAN to take http/https requests that aren't proxied and forward them on to the proxy - so basically make internal proxy the default gatway, specify no proxy on the device, it takes the request and forwards it on to proxy.lea.sch.uk:8080?

Would squid do that I want?

Thanks for any pointers in advance

Did you manage to get things sorted...?
Are you aiming to use the proxy for filtering, caching or a bit of both?

You might want to try pfsense (with pfblocker, haproxy/squid and snort) or any other net appliance distro, instead of using Ubuntu...

Just forwarding, the county proxy does the rest but it ain't transparent. I've built a Ubuntu server VM with squid installed with what I think are the correct settings and exported the vhd ready for when I visit the site next. I'll keep you posted when I get it up there!
