From Squid NT website its stated: Transparent Proxy: missing Windows non commercial interception driver.

My first thought was there is no way to do port forwarding or port redirecting in Windows Server the same way it is done in Linux server. In Linux based server you can use iptables to do port forwarding with the command like this:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

Ive been looking for a way to do port redirect or port forwarding in Windows Server 2003 this several days and start to become desperate as not much info I can get on this topic. At rst I was looking for doing port forwarding or port redirecting in RRAS (Routing and Remote Access Service) but cant nd it. Actually there is port forwarding in RRAS but its not what I need to make transparent proxy. Then I start looking for software that can do port forwarding and found Softperfect Bandwidth Manager can do it. You can download Softperfect Bandwidth Manager here. Step by step to configure transparent proxy using Softperfect Bandwidth Manager: Let start by installing the Squid NT, use my old tutorial here http://markus.revti.com/2007/06/installingsquid-cache-for-windows/ to guide you. Then you'll need to modify the squid.conf to add "transparent" keyword behind http_port options so it will look like this:
http_port 3128 transparent
