RE: [squid-users] Réf. : Squid possibilities and config

Hi,

I had that option allready configured, and idd you will notice the
X-forwarded header with the ip of the client.
But whenever you surf to a website like www.showip.com, it will still say
you surf from the ip of the proxy server,
instead of your client ip. I even did a quick test on the nifty "shields up"
page from grc. And also this one started scanning my proxy server, instead
of my client.

A nice tip, but still not exactly what i need ;)

Greetings
Daan

Your proxy is acting as a client for your user, it's normal that the final
server sees only the proxy's IP as the user never reach himself the server.
But the client's IP is available in the http headers as the X-Forwarded-For
field. You need to set forwarded_for on in your squid.conf to enable it
