      I have a few Roku Boxes on my Lan that don't like the HTTPS Man in the middle part of the transparent proxy, is there a way I could set up an alias for those devices and then tell them to bypass the proxy but only for the HTTPS part? I still want the HTTP to go through the proxy.

      Thanks in advance.

        If you do not configure MITM, when configuring transparent proxy, then HTTP flow will go thorough proxy while HTTPS will not.
        Does it fit your expectation?

          No, I want MITM to work for everything else, I just don't want it to intercept the Roku Boxes.  I have to use transparent proxy otherwise the Roku boxes can not go through the proxy as there are no proxy setting menu on them.

            Thus you will have to manually update the prerouting rules but then I wonder how this would be kept in case you perform any other modification through GUI  ???

              And that is were I hit a brick wall.

              I have tried various configurations but I have not had any luck getting it to work.

                  I don't think you can carve it up like that.  Ditch the transparent proxy for explicit and your life will be much easier in this regard.

                    It's dead simple: stop setting up transparent proxy on interfaces where you do NOT want transparent proxy. IOW - stick those boxes on another separate interface.

                      The reason I use the transparent proxy is because I have content filtering setup, it blocks all the annoying commercials even on the roku.

                          Stop using transparent proxy…

                            Hi lockye,

                            have you ever tried to use a NAT rule in your inbound Interface?
                            For me it's working. All devices that don't like SSL interception are in the Group "grp_no_https_interception". That's all.
                            You also need to have a firewall rule in place to allow the traffic.

                              THANKYOU

                              I had tried something similar but could not get it to work, I must have been missing something.

                              I followed your directions and it does what I need it to do. Thanks for including the attachment, very helpful.

                              Thanks again
