Should http traffic be blocked to enable non transparent proxy?

Q. Hello everyone,
I would like to know if HTTP traffic should be blocked on Linux based firewalls to enable non transparent proxy (ie automatic redirection to a login page when a user tries to open any webpage).
Thanks...
P.S:The firewall I'm using is ENDIAN firewall.

A. I think you're more interested in port forwarding than blocking in this case.

Say if I've got squid running on my firewall box and it's accepting connections on port 8080, Web browsers are still going to send requests off to port 80 for HTTP and port 443 for HTTPS requests. It's just the way they work (unless you override it with the :portno at the end of the domain name).

It's the firewalls job to redirect port 80 requests to port 8080 where the proxy is listening and then the proxy can handle the request on behalf of all the hosts you've got on your LAN.

How to connect to fedora server 2.0 from win xp using puTTY?
Q. i have a fedora 2.0 server and i want to connect it from my windows xp. i can connect to another linux firewall on same network but i cant accces the fedora 2.0 server why? i use puTTY 0.60. plz help

A. What happens when you try? There are lots of different possibilities, but without knowing what goes wrong, it's hard to say.

1) An SSH server might not be running.

2) The server might only accept SSH1 connections and you might be attempting an SSH2 server with puTTY.

3) The SSH server might be running, but a firewall or TCP connection rule may be disallowing your connection.
