[squid-users] Squid 3.5.1 intercept / Forwarding loop detected for

[Luis Miguel Silva]

I bumped into this same "forwarding loop" problem yesterday!
In my case, it was because I had two transparent proxies in the same
network and was basically redirecting traffic twice:
[internet] <-> [appliance 1] <-> [appliance 2] <-> [client computer]

I mistakenly added iptables redirect rules in both appliance 1 and
appliance 2 and that caused Squid to spit out that "forwarding loop
detected" error.
