IPFW without proxy. Is that possible?

Hi guys,

I just wanna want to configure one IPFW machine to use NAT and rules, but where it is not necessary to use a proxy link to use Squid, only the rulesets of IPFW. Can I do that? What would I need to do?

Thank you.
 
You mean you want to use IPFW to redirect web traffic to a Squid proxy running on the firewall, right? Just trying to clarify the question.

Sorry @DutchDaemon, no, I just want to now if there is a possibility to use only IPFW without any proxy. Thank you.

I don't understand why you mention Squid and IPFW together. They have nothing to do with one another, and you can use one without using the other, or you can use both. Unless you want to intercept and redirect web traffic.

Sorry again for my stupid question @DutchDaemon, but can you show me how to configure forwarding on IPFW to use it by itself? Until now I've only been using IPFW and Squid together. Thank you for you patience.

I have a feeling you simply want to enable NAT in IPFW? Someone else will have to answer that (I don't use IPFW), though it's probably right there in the manual page or countless IPFW examples.

No, NAT is for incoming connections, I want to enable outgoing conections pointed to port 80 or 443 passing by IPDW. I only use until now with one proxy at 3128 port. I just need to now how to forward the clients from my local network card to the card of router network on this ports.

Thank you.

I'll leave the IPFW question to someone else, but if you believe the above, you have a lot to learn about networking, I'm afraid.
