| 8080
| 192.168.0.12 is the host running both squid and dansguardian (FreeBSD 6.1)

So client hosts are on Network A while DG+Squid are on Network B.

| If I tail the dansguardian.log on 192.168.0.12 I see the following.

| At the same time I get the following in the squid access log.

I think that something goes wrong within your IPSEC tunnel, but I am not
sure/certain!

I am running Squid (2.6.3) and DG (2.9.8.) in a transparent proxy
setup in: Client (NAT rdr) -> DG (8080) -> Squid (3128), where DG and
Squid are on the same box, and I have never seen such a problem at all.
I also use FreeBSD 6.x with PF, just like you. The only thing I miss in
my setup is that IPSEC thingy!

| Now an interesting thing to note is that if I open Internet Explorer and go

| proxy server to 192.168.0.12:8080 while mainting the already set NAT
| Redirection rule the proxy will work just fine.

| Can anyone shed some light on this situation? Do the HTTP headers get

Definately not!!!

| If so why does it work when I set IE manually to use the 192.168.0.12:8080 proxy
| while keeping the NAT RDR rule?

That's the hard part (for me) ;)

| And also I want to mention that the proxy does work if IE is set to use the

There is "direct" connection via your ipsec tunnel.

I'd have wanted to see your config files for DG & Squid but I think the
problem is NOT at their level.
