I am using transparent proxying with an iptable rule that forwards all outgoing traffic to web proxy. This setup works but all the browsing activity gets slowed down. When I configure my browser to use proxy Internet access gets faster. Can someone suggest me how can I enhance the performance of iptables with this rule is place and without configuring my browser to use proxy. Thanks in advance. Durga Prasad.
