An organization deploys an open OpenVPN server as a gateway to the internet. Users connected to that OpenVPN server can access the internet using NAT. We wish to add Squid as a transparent proxy running on that same gateway machine for caching and security. Write a step by step recipe to configure Squid to act as transparent proxy for communication coming from an OpenVPN server running on the same Linux machine. The main challenge probably lies in properly configuring iptables rules. Linux machine is a 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS updated to the latest software updates. Squid is version 3.3.8 OpenVPN is openvpn_2.3.2-7ubuntu3.1_amd64

Hello there! I am Belgian, 35 years, more than 20 years experience with computers and more than 10 years of real professional experience, I have worked with Nestle, Ozone, LAN10 and many other small companies, for installing, configuring, maintaining and monitoring the servers. (LAMP, exchange, VPN, PBX, etc..) Indeed it is important to properly configure the iptables rule (but it's really easy, it's just 1 rule.. ) I would also take care of letting the squid server only listen on the local vpn interface, for obvious security reasons, the main challenge is actually to make good, secure rules on your squid server. I would set up everything keeping a runbook with all the actions and modifications, then test everything with you, if we both agree that everything is running as it should, I would then write a procedure for you or anybody else to be able to reinstall and reconfigure it properly quickly and easily. I am usually available between 8 and 18h GMT every day, if you have any question even outside those hours, do not hesitate to send me a message here on freelancer or on skype: protojob Thank you for your attention, I am looking forward to work with you!

I have that exact setup running on my home server, even a bit more advanced, with filtering of certain websites and ports, so i think i would be a good choice for this job.
