[squid-users] squid3 makes my users foreigners!

First post from a "long" time squid user

So during the Olympics my national broadcaster has these free HD streaming channels on some webpage. (I'm norwegian - nrk.no) Now, when I route my LAN traffic through squid3, nrk.no thinks Im outside Europe - and thus denies me access to the streams.

And as soon I turn http routing off via squid3, everything works like a charm and nrk.no thinks Im legit.

Now, I have a few webservers running on my host as well so I turned on dns lookups in apache2.conf to see what kind of host apache sees when Im visiting my own server, and sure enough thats hostname-ip.no-address

So what am I doing wrong here?

iptables routing

Original (not working)

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth3 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

Some new ones Im testing (Not working either, still getting blocked)

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth3 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1:3128
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth4 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3128

eth3 = LAN
eth4 = official "norwegian" ip.

So why does nrk.no think Im a foreigner when I try to watch the olympics via squid3?
