PfSense connect through proxy
-
Good day everyone.
I'm new to pfSense, and I want to thank the developer first for it. Been read and heard good things about it so I decided to try it myself. I just installed one on vmware and trying to connect some virtual machines through it. Checking the GUI and doing some google, I still can't find where can I tell pfSense to connect to outside using a proxy. I'm testing it in our company and we are inside a proxy. As I understand it I should connect my pfSense to our company's proxy same as our usual browsing. Any help or link to documentations is highly appreciated.
Thanks everybody very much!

Install squid, possibly make it transparent. You can configure an upstream proxy within squid's configuration.

Tnx for the response, but how can I install Squid offline. No list on Packages because no outbound connection yet. The pf Sense box need to connect through our proxy on port 8080.
-
This is not possible.
-
So all other programs that I want to add to pfSense should all be done through the Packages menu?
I will try to install Squid at home tonight because we are on direct connection at home, and play with squid config. I will update you tomorrow of the result. Thnx a lot for everyone. -

You can do that in the web UI…

I have run dhclient on the shell, the connection is ok and i can access pfSense on the GUI. But when I changed the address from dhcp to static and assigned an ip using the gui the connection was lost and I can't access pfSense from the GUI anymore. That's why I'm asking how to turn dhclient on/off on the shell.

I have manage to install squid and it's now running. I need to tell pfSense to connect through our company's proxy on port 8080. I have checked "Allow users on interface" and "Transparent Proxy" ans set proxy port to "8080". I go to Packages to try my connection but still can't connect. Is my squid config wrong, or do I need to configure something else? I am on DHCP, "DNS Forwarder" enabled, "Register DHCP leases in DNS forwarder" and "Register DHCP static mappings in DNS forwarder" checked.

I can ping yahoo,google etc. from shell but still got "Unable to communicate to pfSense.com. Please check DNS, default gateway, etc." error when accessing Packages through GUI. Any help please.
