    Hi guys,
    Please let me know or advise me how to configure the OPENVPN server part on PfSense to send the proxy configuration to windows clients.
    I have tried some methods but none of them worked. (also tried pushing the *******.pac file path)
    The idea is, the clients should use the proxy (for internet) which is installed on the same appliance where is OpenVPN is.

    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Nandor

      push "dhcp-option PROXY_HTTPS 10.144.5.14 3128"

        Yes indeed, but its not working. This workaround is for iOS not windows. I think the single solution is to push a pac file path. But also this is not working :). So for the moment Im without ideas.

        Cheers,

          tried this?

          push "dhcp-option PROXY_AUTO_CONFIG_URL http://www.openvpn.net/proxy.pac"
