I'm trying to use the scrapers behind my Squid transparent proxy, but they always fail. They work fine when I disable the proxy, but I've got teenagers and would love to keep my content filter up and running.

Can anyone point me on how to config squid to allow the scraper traffic?
I've already tried listing imdb and allmusic sites in the bypass list but that didn't help.

Thanks,
Later,

are you using iptables to re-route traffic through the proxy? or are you actually running truly transparent and using a bridge interface to connect two physical interfaces in a "in-path" configuration?

I'm using Clarkconnect with it's implementation of it, so I have no clue really.
But I did find a solution on the clarkconnect boards.

I added this to my rc.firewall.local

IPTABLES -t nat -I PREROUTING -s <IPADDRESSOF MY XBOX> -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT


Now everything is working great.

ok, that's the iptables way of doing it.
