+Transparent proxy support
+=========================
+
+This feature adds Linux 2.2-like transparent proxy support to current kernels.
+To use it, enable the socket match and the TPROXY target in your kernel config.
+You will need policy routing too, so be sure to enable that as well.
+
+From Linux 4.18 transparent proxy support is also available in nf_tables.
+
+1. Making non-local sockets work
+================================
+
+The idea is that you identify packets with destination address matching a local
+socket on your box, set the packet mark to a certain value:
+
+# iptables -t mangle -N DIVERT
+# iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m socket -j DIVERT
+# iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j MARK --set-mark 1
+# iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j ACCEPT
+
+Alternatively you can do this in nft with the following commands:
+
+# nft add table filter
+# nft add chain filter divert "{ type filter hook prerouting priority -150; }"
+# nft add rule filter divert meta l4proto tcp socket transparent 1 meta mark set 1 accept
+
+And then match on that value using policy routing to have those packets
+delivered locally:
+
+# ip rule add fwmark 1 lookup 100
+# ip route add local 0.0.0.0/0 dev lo table 100
+
+Because of certain restrictions in the IPv4 routing output code you'll have to
+modify your application to allow it to send datagrams _from_ non-local IP
+addresses. All you have to do is enable the (SOL_IP, IP_TRANSPARENT) socket
+option before calling bind:
+
+fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
+/* - 8< -*/
+int value = 1;
+setsockopt(fd, SOL_IP, IP_TRANSPARENT, &value, sizeof(value));
+/* - 8< -*/
+name.sin_family = AF_INET;
+name.sin_port = htons(0xCAFE);
+name.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(0xDEADBEEF);
+bind(fd, &name, sizeof(name));
+
+A trivial patch for netcat is available here:
+http://people.netfilter.org/hidden/tproxy/netcat-ip_transparent-support.patch
+
+
+2. Redirecting traffic
+======================
+
+Transparent proxying often involves "intercepting" traffic on a router. This is
+usually done with the iptables REDIRECT target; however, there are serious
+limitations of that method. One of the major issues is that it actually
+modifies the packets to change the destination address -- which might not be
+acceptable in certain situations. (Think of proxying UDP for example: you won't
+be able to find out the original destination address. Even in case of TCP
+getting the original destination address is racy.)
+
+The 'TPROXY' target provides similar functionality without relying on NAT. Simply
+add rules like this to the iptables ruleset above:
+
+# iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j TPROXY \
+  --tproxy-mark 0x1/0x1 --on-port 50080
+
+Or the following rule to nft:
+
+# nft add rule filter divert tcp dport 80 tproxy to :50080 meta mark set 1 accept
+
+Note that for this to work you'll have to modify the proxy to enable (SOL_IP,
+IP_TRANSPARENT) for the listening socket.
+
+As an example implementation, tcprdr is available here:
+https://git.breakpoint.cc/cgit/fw/tcprdr.git/
+This tool is written by Florian Westphal and it was used for testing during the
+nf_tables implementation.
+
+3. Iptables and nf_tables extensions
+====================================
+
+To use tproxy you'll need to have the following modules compiled for iptables:
+ - NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_SOCKET
+ - NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TPROXY
+
+Or the floowing modules for nf_tables:
+ - NFT_SOCKET
+ - NFT_TPROXY
+
+4. Application support
+======================
+
+4.1. Squid
+----------
+
+Squid 3.HEAD has support built-in. To use it, pass
+'--enable-linux-netfilter' to configure and set the 'tproxy' option on
+the HTTP listener you redirect traffic to with the TPROXY iptables
+target.
+
+For more information please consult the following page on the Squid
+wiki: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Tproxy4
