Hello Longthorn,
  if you want to use the  transparent proxy option you must have eBox as gateway. In this mode eBox takes care itself for the redirections so you don have to do anything special.

Don hesitate to ask more questions if this message doesn help you

make sure you have configured a DNS server for eBox itself.

Go to Network->DNS to check if you have any. If you have enabled the eBox DNS server you can introduce 127.0.0.1 or any other external DNS server.

Ok then, let's use the diagnosis tool :)

Go to Network->diagnosis and try to look up a domain, and ping it.

Ok, it seems it's not a DNS problem then.

What's your global policy in proxy settings? Select 'always accept' and make sure you don't have any object with filter policy, save changes and try again
