Hi All,
I have a basic question on Client - web server communication through Squid
using transparent proxy.
In case of transparent proxy Whenever a client tries to access a webpage,
squid spoofs the packet and acts like a web server. In turn Squid initiates
a new TCP connection with the web server.
My clarification is like whether squid initiates a new TCP connection with
webserver as soon as it receives a SYN packet from the client or after a
TCP session has been established between the client and squid proxy server.
I both the

Client                Squid                Webserver

SYN

SYN+ACK
