Configure squid to act as transparent proxy

PROXYsquidtransparent-proxy

I have configured squid to support transparency using this command

./configure --enable-ipfw-transparent --enable-ssl

I have started squid, is there any other configuration that i need to add so that all web requests do not bypass the proxy

I have already setup the squid machine to have transparent proxying on 176.16.1.197:8000

The machine I have setup for squid is not running as the gateway to the internet, How do I setup so that all http requests go through to squid?

Do i have to use IP tables? where do i setup the IP tables? on the gateway? or squid machine?

You need to configure squid.conf to enable the transparent proxy mode. Then, you need to configure your firewall to redirect all web traffic through the proxy. You can look up the information elsewhere.
