      Hi!

      At my company we have a separate lab network (to connect nom company equipment and PCs to get internet). I have registered a box with pfsense which get access through this option to the internet. The company solution already has a proxy (ip plus port) that i need to enter in the windows and Linux clients behind my own pfsense. This is a hassle and a source of stupid support hours both for myself and many others. Would it be possible to somehow enter this into my own pfsense box by default, so that all the clients that connects to my pfsense doesn't need to care about the proxy?

      Any help would be much appreciated! Take care🙂

        @takstein You could install squid proxy in transparent mode and set it to forward to the other proxy. However, this will bring a new set of support issues in getting it all configured and then the weird web issues that sometimes happen with transparent proxies.
