Using squid3 on Ubuntu 1104 Server

Does someone have a link to a simple explanation on how to get squid3 installed as a transparent proxy in Ubuntu 11.04 Server? Last 2 times I've tried I've managed to stuff it up...

Server set up for NAT/Firewall ( iptables ). I.E. As a Home Gateway... ( working )

Interfaces :

- ppp0 ( PCI - Dial-up Internet )

- eth0 ( On-Mobo - Static IP - My Machine )

- eth1 ( PCI - Dynamic IP - Guest Machines )

Don't know whether this is too simple (I'm sure you've tried a few HowTos) but from here:

http://www.sdharris.com/2 ...

"If you have any problems check:-

- The squid log files in /var/log/squid/;

- The port number you configured in squid.conf is the same one you used in the iptables line and that you have added transparent to the http_port line of the squid.conf file;

- Manually configure a browser to use the ubuntu server as a proxy to rule out a problem with the iptables."

Found the solution to those here :

Proxy is now playing nicely with my firewall and is transparent...
