Transparent Proxyd in Ubuntu

Configuring Squid & HAVP(ClamAV) in Ubuntu :Example 1

In this article, it is assumed that Squid has been installed and running well, because the
contents of this article will not discuss the installation of squid. The following is just an
example of the steps in configuring Squid as a transparent proxy and HAVP (in collaboration
with ClamAV) as a virus scanner (parent proxy).

1. Information schema.

Transparent Proxy*
192.168.0.253:3128
|| [eth1]
|| ||
[Intranet]--------[Squid]-+-[HAVP]--------[Internet]
|| ||
[eth0] Parent Proxy
192.168.0.0/24 127.0.0.1:8080
||
||
[ClamAV]

2. Installing HAVP, ClamAV and ClamAV update virus databases for the first time.

~# apt-get install havp clamav

~# freshclam

3. Add the following line into file “/etc/squid/squid.conf”.

cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 8080 0 no-query no-diggest no-netdb-exchange default

4. Make sure the configuration files in “/etc/havp/havp.config”, at least as the following

lines.

USER havp
GROUP havp
DAEMON true
PIDFILE /var/run/havp/havp.pid
SERVERNUMBER 20 # please adjust itself
MAXSERVERS 100 # please adjust ifself
ACCESSLOG /var/log/havp/access.log
ERRORLOG /var/log/havp/havp.log
USESYSLOG false
SYSLOGNAME havp
SYSLOGFACILITY daemon
SYSLOGLEVEL info

ENABLEFPROT false
ENABLEAVG false
ENABLEAVESERVER false
ENABLESOPHIE false
ENABLETROPHIE false
ENABLENOD32 false
ENABLEAVAST false
ENABLEARCAVIR false
ENABLEDRWEB false

5. Make sure the rules in the IPTables NAT in this case as step 1, at least as the following
lines.

~# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -j REDIRECT -p tcp -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 –dport 80 –

to-ports 3128
~# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -p tcp -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth1

6. Restart Squid and HAVP service.

~# squid -k reconfigure
~# /etc/init.d/havp force-reload
- or -
~# /etc/init.d/squid restart
~# /etc/init.d/havp restart

7. Finish.

*) Don’t forget to open tcp ports 80 & 3128.

Configuring Squid & HAVP(ClamAV) in Ubuntu : Example 2

In this article, it is assumed that Squid has been installed and running well, because the
contents of this article will not discuss the installation of squid. The following is just an
example of the steps in configuring Squid as a parent proxy (not transparent proxy) and
HAVP (in collaboration with ClamAV) as a virus scanner (transparent proxy).

1. Information schema.

[ClamAV]
||
||
Transparent Proxy*
192.168.0.253:8080
|| [eth1]
|| ||
[Intranet]--------[HAVP]-+-[Squid]--------[Internet]
|| ||
[eth0] Parent Proxy
192.168.0.0/24 127.0.0.1:3128

2. Installing HAVP, ClamAV and ClamAV update virus databases for the first time.

~# apt-get install havp clamav

~# freshclam

3. Add the following line into file “/etc/squid/squid.conf”. If the existing configuration, like
this “http_port 192.168.0.253:3128 transparent”, please change the following lines like this.

http_port 127.0.0.1:3128

4. Make sure the configuration files in “/etc/havp/havp.config”, at least as the following

lines.

USER havp
GROUP havp
DAEMON true
PIDFILE /var/run/havp/havp.pid
SERVERNUMBER 20 # please adjust itself
MAXSERVERS 100 # please adjust ifself
ACCESSLOG /var/log/havp/access.log
ERRORLOG /var/log/havp/havp.log
USESYSLOG false
SYSLOGNAME havp
SYSLOGFACILITY daemon

5. Make sure the rules in the IPTables NAT in this case as step 1, at least as the following
lines. If the IPTables NAT rule to redirect port prior to 3128, please change it to 8080.

~# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -j REDIRECT -p tcp -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 –dport 80 –

to-ports 8080
~# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -p tcp -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth1

6. Restart Squid and HAVP service.

~# squid -k reconfigure
~# /etc/init.d/havp force-reload
- or -
~# /etc/init.d/squid restart
~# /etc/init.d/havp restart

7. Finish.

*) Don’t forget to open tcp ports 80 & 8080.
