NAME
tproxyd - programs to do transparent proxying
SYNOPSIS
tproxyd [-t] [-s port [-r user] [-b ipaddr]] proxyhost proxyport
DESCRIPTION
tproxyd is a program that is used in conjunction with the Linux Transparent Proxy networking feature, and ipfwadm, to transparently proxy HTTP and other requests.
Take for example the network configuration of a Linux box acting as a dialin server (or terminal server), and another Linux box acting as a Squid (or any other) proxy cache. Normally users would have to configure their browser to access the proxy. This transparent proxy will automatically intercept HTTP accesses and re-direct them to the Squid (or any other) proxy server. The users need not even know that a proxy is being used, it's that transparent.
More information can be found in /usr/doc/transproxy.
