hello guys
i am having very strange problem with my SQUID and iptables.
It is for sure NOT A SQUID ISSUE (i've tested 6 different versions of
squid, 2.7.x , 3.0.x and 3.1.x - and other people dont have this
issue)
In all versions there was one problem. When i use TRANSPARENCY mode
(so i redirect 80 port in iptables via DNAT or REDIRECT)
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s 192.168.0.2 ! -d
192.168.0.0/24 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8123 # Tytanick
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s 192.168.0.2 ! -d
192.168.0.0/24 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.1:8123 # Tytanick
i am having problem that pages load SLOWLY - exacly few images load very slowly.
In all cases, my browser cache and squid cache was cleaned.
Just watch a movie that i made and you will see my problem clearly !

You can download zipped html and swf(movie) file from rapidshare: (you
