NAT to External Squid Proxy
-
I have spent a great deal of time reading threads and trying different things before posting for help here, but nothing has worked so far. Ultimately, I want all http traffic from a specific alias forwarded through the external squid proxy without any configuration on the client side, but at the moment I just have the source set to the entire 'LAN net' for testing.

Squid Proxy (on OPT1)LAN on 192.168.0.0/24
OPT1 on 192.168.1.0/24If I set the proxy to non-transparent and manually enter the proxy in the browser, it works. If I set the proxy to non-transparent mode and use the NAT rule to forward http to squid port on the proxy, http requests return Invalid URL. If I try to use transparent mode and have NAT forward to port 80 I get 'Access denied'.
This is how I set up iptables initially.
#delete all rules sudo iptables -F sudo iptables -t nat -F sudo iptables -t mangle -F sudo iptables -X # Enable routing. echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # Masquerade. sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE # Transparent proxying sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8085
Here is my squid.conf
# WELCOME TO SQUID 3.3.8 # ---------------------------- # # This is the documentation for the Squid configuration file. # This documentation can also be found online at: # http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/ # # You may wish to look at the Squid home page and wiki for the # FAQ and other documentation: # http://www.squid-cache.org/ # http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq # http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples # # This documentation shows what the defaults for various directives # happen to be. If you don't need to change the default, you should # leave the line out of your squid.conf in most cases. # # In some cases "none" refers to no default setting at all, # while in other cases it refers to the value of the option # - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the case. # # Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive. # Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards are # supported. # # For example, # # include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config # # Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels. # This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references # from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load # configuration files. # # # Conditional configuration # # If-statements can be used to make configuration directives # depend on conditions: # # if <condition> # ... regular configuration directives ... # [else # ... regular configuration directives ...] # endif # # The else part is optional.

IE # has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic # scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure # schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended # settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't # recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either # put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their # program entry). # # Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be # shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on # the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a # different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely. # # Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes # authentication it does not automatically activate authentication. # To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based # on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or # external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be # challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered # in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new # login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth # type acl. # # WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting # proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and # not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to # transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid. # Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have # authentication disabled. # # === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. === # # "program" cmdline # Specify the command for the external authenticator.

Frankly I didn't read the long attachment :-[ (squid.cof etc)
Just looking at your basic explanation, everything is pretty obvious, for the same reason that, regardless of proxy location (from network standpoint), transparent proxy can't handle HTTPS unless you configure MITM which is, IMHO, something very bad, on the principle :-XWhat would be, still IMHO, better as an approach is to understand what you exactly mean when stating "[i]…I want all http traffic from a specific alias forwarded through the external squid proxy without any configuration on the client side..."
If goal is to avoid manual proxy configuration because you have plenty of client and such configuration generates administration overhead, then technical answer to this is WPAD.
If goal is to silently intercept HTTP(S) flow, then this is another story and I'm afraid that MITM is the only solution >:( -
transparent proxy can't handle HTTPS
At the moment, I'm not trying to do anything with HTTPS.
What would be, still IMHO, better as an approach is to understand what you exactly mean when stating "…I want all http traffic from a specific alias forwarded through the external squid proxy without any configuration on the client side..."
Instead of forwarding all LAN traffic through the proxy, an inverse rule will be used to only forward http from IPs that aren't within the alias. This is merely a matter of changing the source on the NAT rule and isn't related to my problem.
If goal is to avoid manual proxy configuration because you have plenty of client and such configuration generates administration overhead, then technical answer to this is WPAD.
I'll look into this, but I hope it's not necessary.

Another option I considered was setting the default gateway given out to the LAN to the Squid proxy and then manually assigning the gateway to my pfSense box on all trusted IPs, but this seemed like an unnecessarily complex approach if it's possible to simply route http from untrusted IPs through the Squid proxy. Really, all of this is being configured to perform traffic manipulation like upside-down-ter-net on guests before I add them to the trusted IP list. I figured it's a fun way to learn a little more about using pfsense, squid, apache, and linux as well as learning how to properly apply general networking concepts.

@Sea:
If I set the proxy to non-transparent and manually enter the proxy in the browser, it works. If I set the proxy to non-transparent mode and use the NAT rule to forward http to squid port on the proxy, http requests return Invalid URL. If I try to use transparent mode and have NAT forward to port 80 I get 'Access denied'.
What is not clear to me is that when using explicit proxy (meaning non-transparent) you shouldn't need any NAT isn't it?
Your client (e.g.) browser is on 192.168.0.0/24 network, sends request to proxy on 192.168.1.0/24 network through pfSense, proxy retrieves URL and sends back to browser. That's pretty straightforward unless there is something I miss.You should perhaps clarify what you mean with "If I set the proxy to non-transparent mode and use the NAT" because this has 2 aspects:
- Squid configuration (is your proxy configured to work as explicit or transparent proxy?)
- browser configuration (have you configured your browser to rely on proxy or not?)
If you intend to use explicit proxy, it has to be done on each side accordingly. Setting proxy as explicit only on one side and redirecting request to it (e.g. if nothing is done client side) will not work because browser will not expect dialogue with proxy.
To me, you can only explore 2 different paths:
- explicit proxy on each side
- transparent proxy one each side
Anything else is going to fail (as far as I understand)
Now that I understand better your goal (I hope), what you intend to do is to implement transparent proxy with:
- proxy not running on pfSense itself
- redirection triggered for only some specific source IPs
Did you look at this already?

I suspected this might be the case. I want it to be transparent.

I did look at that page, but it addresses iptables running on a different machine than squid. I guess what I need to know is if there is some special handling of the traffic that needs to happen directly on the pfsense box beyond simply forwarding the traffic, or should I just apply those same iptables rules directly on my squid box?
-
It addresses iptables running on default gateway (pfSense in your set-up) and potentially on Squid machine too (case #2)
Basically, what I understand from this howto is that you have 2 ways to achieve this:
- one with iptables rules on default gateway only but with potentially some side effect
- one with rules on default gateway AND Squid server
What it doesn't cover that is, BTW, specific to your request is customization required to apply routing to only some source IPs.
-
Thank you so much for your help. It seems that the simplest solution for me would be to put my wireless access point and squid proxy on their own subnet with squid set as the default gateway for OPT1. This will still have the drawback that even my trusted wireless devices are routed through squid, but I think it's the best I can do for now. Would you agree that a wireless access point that supports multiple SSIDs and VLANs be the best solution for this type of configuration?
-
I would say yes but have to admit that I don't understand the need for proxy only for "untrusted" devices :-[
If goal is to bring antivirus control, which is something I do support, I would do it for all devices ;)EDIT: BTW, I never did it (mainly because I'm not very prone to deploy any transparent proxy) but I remember I read long time ago document describing how to deploy Squid as both explicit and transparent proxy. You should be able to find it easily, in case it helps to solve your problem.

[/quote]This is my home network. This is all just for pranking guests with MITM perl scripts before allowing them to connect directly through the real gateway. "Untrusted" in this case just means they haven't been given the ability to do that yet. I am interested in antivirus, but the last couple times I've tried HAVP, I've had problems.

I figured this out (or so I think)…
1. Set up squid (adapted from http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/http_port/)
Edit squid.conf
- modify the http_port direct to include accel and allow-direct.
2. Add a port forward / destination nat rule (adapted from https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=39736.0)
GUI -> NAT -> Port Forward tab > Add rule
Interface: LAN
Protocol: TCP
Source: NOT <ip of="" squid="" box="">Source port range: any
Destination: up to you
Destination port range: from HTTP to HTTP
Redirect target IP: <ip of="" squid="" box="">Redirect target port: <squid 3128="" port="">3. Add an outbound / source nat rule (adapted from http://tldp.org/HOWTO/TransparentProxy-6.html#ss6.1)GUI -> NAT -> Outbound > add rule
Interface: LAN
Protocol: TCP
Source: Network / your LAN Net ie 192.168.1.0/24
Destination: <ip of="" squid="" box="">Destination port: <squid 3128="" port="">Translation: Interface addressNo separate interface / subnet for the squid box required.</squid></ip></squid></ip></ip>
