SDB:Transparent Proxy in Squid deactivated

From openSUSE

Symptom

Transparentp proxy in squid doesn't work.

Ursache

Due to the switch to kernel 2.6 this functionality was temporary deactiviated to keep a stable system.

Lösung

The transparent proxy (linux-netfilter) is activated again in SUSE LINUX ENTERPRISE 9.0. A buy/change is recommended.

A squid-2.5.STABLE6 version with transparent proxy is available under: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/kssingvo/unsupported/squid/RPMS/9.0 and for SUSE LINUX 9.1 under: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/kssingvo/unsupported/squid/RPMS/9.1 for download and private installation

Note the "unsupported".

These packages are:

• only for testing
• without any guarantee or warranty
• without any support

As an extreme example, this means that if your complete computer center crashes because of these packages, it is only your problem.
