The schema is as follows:

A user connect with his notebook via Access Point which has OpenWRT
installed. OpenWRT has DNAT rules:

iptables -t nat -A prerouting_rule -i br0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT
--to-destination $SQUID_IP:8080

iptables -t nat -A prerouting_rule -i br0 -p tcp --dport 1863 -j DNAT
--to-destination SQUID_IP:8080

(I've tried the last one and even redirecting 1050, but I'm not sure
if that's right)

Users can browse the web with no problems using transparent proxy
(except SSL sites of course) but they fail to use MSN.
