Transparent Proxy Server, Squid 3.3.2 / 3.2.8 on Ubuntu 12.10 + Shorewall

Squid 3.1.xx (latest version 3.1.23), is a very simple and is used to make transparent / intercept. While the squid 3.3.2 / 3.2.8, to make transparent / intercept configuration is a bit different from the version of squid 3.1.23.  In this blog, I will explain how to create a transparent / intercept in two ways, the first is squid as well as a router, and the second, Mikrotik as a router coupled with squid external. Let's get to start, a transparent proxy server with squid as well as router.

Network configuration.
After installing the new Ubuntu, configure the ethernet. In my case, Ethernet to the Internet is dhcp, and another ethernet to the LAN, using the IP address 10.10.10.1. Of course, customize your network environment.

vi /etc/network/interfaces
