What exactly changes in the algorithm of squid`a operation when the "transparent proxy" mode is enabled?
The question is the following. What exactly changes in the algorithm of squid`a operation when the "transparent proxy" mode is enabled. Those. How does it begin to perceive incoming packets, etc. The question is related to why you can't just wrap client traffic to a proxy without this line in the config.
Also, as far as I understand, in transparent mode it is impossible to use authorization. Is it so?
If so, how can you implement authorization by login and password for accessing the Internet via squid, if the proxy setting is not explicitly specified on client machines?

There will be no authorization in transparent mode, in squid it is disabled due to an error in IE, which, in the absence of a proxy setting and an HTTP 407 Proxy Authentication Required response, throws an error.
You can distribute the proxy address via WPAD using DHCP or DNS (Firefox only understands DNS). To do this, you need to raise a web server that distributes the wpad.dat file and give links to it on the DHCP server and on the DNS server of the domain that the computer belongs to.
