# tproxyd(8)

programs to do transparent proxying

## 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.*

## OPTIONS

**-t** Act fully transparently (default is HTTP translate).

- **-s port**

  Run as a server bound to the specified port.

- **-r user**

  Run as the specified user in server mode.

- **-b ipaddr**

  ind to the specified ipaddr in server mode.
