I'm using a router with Tomato USB to forward port 80 requests to a Ubuntu Server with Squid 3 in transparent mode. Someone on the Tomato forum adapted these instructions for Tomato:

#!/bin/sh
INTERNAL_NETWORK="192.168.1.0/24"
ROUTER_IP="192.168.1.1"
PROXY_SERVER="192.168.1.3"
PROXY_PORT="3128"

/usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -s $INTERNAL_NETWORK -d $INTERNAL_NETWORK -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
/usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -s ! $PROXY_SERVER -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to $PROXY_SERVER:$PROXY_PORT
/usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o br0 -s $INTERNAL_NETWORK -p tcp -d $PROXY_SERVER -j SNAT --to $ROUTER_IP
/usr/sbin/iptables -t filter -I FORWARD -s $INTERNAL_NETWORK -d $PROXY_SERVER -i br0 -o br0 -p tcp --dport $PROXY_PORT -j ACCEPT

Forwarding works as it should, the requests are processed by Squid. The instructions show the rule to bypass certain machines on the network. My problem is that I need to bypass some sites that have problems with proxies, not a specific machine. I tried adding this:

/usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d caixa.gov.br -j ACCEPT

This rule doesn't work. I don't want caixa.gov.br (and a few others) to be forwarded to the proxy at all. But Tomato is still forwarding all sites.

Is it possible to add a rule for each site I don't want to forward?

  • What is the difference between "some site" and "a specific machine"? Apr 28, 2013 at 9:01
  • Thanks for answering, I need all users on my local network to always use the transparent proxy, but have sites like caixa.gov.br to bypass the proxy. As I mentioned, the linked instructions show how to make a specific IP on my network not to use the proxy at all (by using iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i br0 -s [IPADDRESS] -j ACCEPT), but I need all of them to skip just a fews sites instead of not using the proxy.

  • Have you tried the code from my answer or have you just looked at it? Apr 28, 2013 at 14:41
  • Yes, but caixa.gov.br is still giving me problems. I cleaned the browser cache to be sure, and it takes a long time to load. After loading it shows on squid log. If I turn off the proxy forwarding it works without problem. I probably couldn't follow your instructions correctly, because it should not show on log anymore, right?

  • I edited my answer so that you can easily run the script now. Do that and if accesses to caixa.gov.br still get forwarded to the proxy then post the output of iptables -t nat -L -nv. Apr 28, 2013 at 15:36

iptables -A ... puts the rule at the end of a chain. Thus your one never matches (or at least with no effect) because the second (-s ! $PROXY_SERVER) already got those packets / connections.

Instead of iptables -A PREROUTING you need iptables -I PREROUTING 2. Or you create chains to make the structure easier to understand:

#!/bin/bash
INTERNAL_NETWORK="192.168.1.0/24"
ROUTER_IP="192.168.1.1"
PROXY_SERVER="192.168.1.3"
PROXY_PORT="3128"


if iptables -L prerouting_exceptions -n &>/dev/null; then
  iptables -t nat -F prerouting_exceptions
else
  iptables -t nat -N prerouting_exceptions
fi
# this prevents the same rule being inserted with each script call
if ! iptables -L FORWARD -n | grep -q proxy; then
  iptables -t filter -I FORWARD -s $INTERNAL_NETWORK -d $PROXY_SERVER -i br0 \
    -o br0 -p tcp --dport $PROXY_PORT -j ACCEPT -m comment --comment proxy
fi
iptables -t nat -F PREROUTING
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -j prerouting_exceptions
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -s ! $PROXY_SERVER -p tcp \
  --dport 80 -j DNAT --to $PROXY_SERVER:$PROXY_PORT

iptables -t nat -A prerouting_exceptions -i br0 -s $INTERNAL_NETWORK \
  -d $INTERNAL_NETWORK -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A prerouting_exceptions -d caixa.gov.br -j ACCEPT
0

I tried your answer. I added www1.caixa.gov.br besides caixa.gov.br because it was also showing on Squid log.

Squid log:

1367165802.899 151455 192.168.1.1 TCP_MISS/503 4261 GET http://www.caixa.gov.br/ - DIRECT/www.caixa.gov.br text/html
