fun with wifi and the nighbors...

in one of my browsing session I came across this article and after setting up the dhcp and squid server, I can't get the perl script to work as intended....could anyone take a look at this article and tell me if this is possible

thanks

Yes, it's possible. What trouble are you having with the perl script?
My first bet is you're missing mogrify, that's part of ImageMagick.

you were right I was missing the ImageMagic program, but now my squid server is not serving request anymore, although is working I can see the port 3128 open on my server, but clients are getting page not found...uhh

after installing it, still have trouble running it...I'm running the script as
#perl /etc/squid/redirector.pl....it seems to be running and I have mogrify, because I see it when I execute it at terminal...but webpages are served just fine...any ideas?

thanks
ps: I couldn't get the iptables running...but I figure it should work the same

You did not say what your problem was with it.

First, distros put iptables in diferent directories.
( example: could be in /sbin or /usr/sbin )
Try
which iptables
to find out where it is on your system.
Also make sure it is started!

Second, make sure network addresses you are using match your setup!

when I said iptables I was talking about getting the routing done, to achieve the transparent squid server.....yes my network config is ok, I'm testing it with a laptop and is getting appropiate ip and is browsing through the squid server, I setup the browser for use with proxy, but I'm not getting the pictures flipped over

thanks

The whole transparent proxy setup is the trick that makes it all work. The upside-down pictures are just a gimmick..
