tcp_outgoing_address YOUR-IP-ADDRESS-HERE
Configuration
Edit the squid.conf file:
# vi /etc/squid/squid.conf
Find or add the following configuration directive:
tcp_outgoing_address 1.2.3.4
Save and close the file. Reload the squid proxy server / config file changes by typing the following command:
# squid -k reconfigure
OR
# service squid reload
Setting up multiple outgoing IP addresses
You can forward clients request based on IPs for certain users:
#define acl acl admin 192.168.1.100 acl tom 192.168.1.101 acl raj 192.168.1.102 # set up outgoing rule tcp_outgoing_address 192.168.1.254 admin tcp_outgoing_address 192.168.1.253 tom tcp_outgoing_address 192.168.1.253 raj
However, forwarding clients with dedicated IPs for certain subnets is more useful:
## full filtering enabled using iptables on 10.0.0.0/24 and routed via squid## acl throttle_service_net src 10.0.0.0/24 ## admins are skip from this limits ## acl admins_service_net src 192.168.1.0/24 ## Set rules ## tcp_outgoing_address 10.1.0.2 throttle_service_net tcp_outgoing_address 192.168.1.254 admins_service_net

I installed squid transparent proxy server in one system(eth0=192.168.1.203 ,eth1=192.168.3.5) I deployed one application in one system (proxy Client, eth0=192.168.3.60) .We have router with IP 192.168.1.1
Now i can access this application from lan (proxy server area 192.168.3.0/24) .But i am unable to access this application from 192.168.1.0/24 and External network.
