RE: [squid-users] Problems running squid in Transparent mode.....

Hi There,

I don't think so. I removed the bandwidth manager for a while and
replaced it with a Linux PC doing policy based routing with iptables and
I'm still getting the same problem. Basically the transparent proxy
works 100% fine when the computer from which I'm browsing is in the same
IP subnet as the cache server. It seems not to work so good when I'm
either natting the IP or when I use an IP that's in a different subnet.
In both cases I'm definitely getting a hit in my squid log file.

Thanks for the help so far.

Regards
Stephan

Are you sure it is not your bandwidth manager which throttles the
response?
