log websites visited

[Vicent Gozalbes]

Hello to all, I'm new in this list.
I have an iptables firewall running in a Debian system in my Office.
I would like to view all websites visited (IPs or name) for my workers.
it's possible with iptables without using a proxy-cache, isn't it?

Iptables works on layer 3 and 4 of the OSI network model,
this mean it operates on the IP and TCP/UDP level, it doesn' t
designed to work in a application layer, for this purpose is used
the proxy server.
http://www.squid-cache.org is a good option.

Thanks

You can add calamaris to the squid proxy with the
transparent proxy feature of iptables to obtain
statistics of the use of the proxy the user are
doing.

if IP's are OK--you can use:

  iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --syn -s $INSIDE_NET --dport 80 \
    -j LOG --log-prefix "HTTP REQUEST: "

you need to place that rule at a point in your ruleset where it will
actually catch the traffic you're interested in.

-j
