Thanks. I put squid on the firewall itself. It works for http, but not 
for https. I get errors with curl and wget.

$ curl https://debian.org
curl: (35) error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown 
protocol

$ wget https://debian.org

I made some config changes:

http_port 3128 intercept
http_port 3129 intercept ssl-bump generate-host-certificates=on 
cert=/etc/squid/squid.pem

sslcrtd_program /usr/lib/squid/ssl_crtd -s /var/lib/ssl_db -M 4MB

ssl_bump bump all

Here are my PREROUTING nat table rules.

REDIRECT tcp  --  10.77.9.0/24 anywhere tcp dpt:http redir ports 3128
REDIRECT tcp  --  10.77.9.0/24 anywhere tcp dpt:https redir ports 3129

And in the INPUT chain of the filter table:

ACCEPT tcp  --  10.77.9.0/24 anywhere tcp dpt:3128
ACCEPT tcp  --  10.77.9.0/24 anywhere tcp dpt:3129

The server I am on has IP 10.77.9.102.
