Another option is to use a transparent proxy configuration.

This automatically redirects all traffic on specified ports through the
proxy server, a user does not know it is happening (until they try and
access a site that does not like proxies).

I don't have time now, but I am sure that a couple of searches for
"transparent proxy iptables squid" will most likely provide you with
some rather fruitful results.
