Full URL logging

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration

Is it possible to get a log of all the requested URLs from clients connected to the router?

I'd like a log of full URLs, e.g. google.com/search?openwrt instead of just the domain names.

From my research it looks like I need to install a proxy server on the router. It looks like squid would be too much for this, so my other options would be privoxy or tinyproxy. Is this correct? Does anyone have any experience of something like this?

Note I'm not interested in proxy caching or URL blocking at the moment, just a log of all URLs.

If the clients use HTTPS, even with a proxy server, you will only be able to log the domain name ("google.com"), not the full URL, unless you create your own certificates and install them on the clients.
