If you check my iptables I am sending to transparent proxies only eth0, that is the internal network card: therefore any connection coming from other networked PC is proxied, but not the requests coming from the router itself (that are not proxied, in my undestanding..) Furthermore any request from network (wget, yum) is managed o.k, that means that squid is running fine... I am a dead point (not very important,as the router is working) and I am not either a Linux superespert or a network magician... :-) -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag
