Using pfSense as proxy via PPTP VPN?
-
I'm attempting to use my pfsense as a proxy for machines connected via a PPTP VPN. Squid is installed and working, I use it as a proxy for the machines behind pfSense, but it does not seem to work from across the VPN. I have a allow-all rule for the PPTP interface, so I don't know where to go from here.
Thanks for any help you could provide.

You need to set squid to be active on the VPN interface.

I actually didn't need to change anything with Squid, it must default to being active on the VPN interface. What I did have to change was putting the ACTUAL gateway IP as the proxy address instead of the PPTP pretend gateway as the proxy address (the gateway is actually x.x.x.254, the gateway IP in PPTP is set to x.x.x.253; x.x.x.253 gets me to the web UI, but the proxy doesn't work unless I use x.x.x.254).
