PfSense newbie configuration problem
-
Well it cannot be simply pointing a server to a router an expecting it to work when there is a proxy involved. The proxy setup you did was just for pfSense to get version information and packages installed. This is not for everything else behind it.
what you say confirms what I said at the this thread. that is I am a beginner and that my knowledge about it is very poor :'(
If you want to do that, you are going to have to setup pfSense with Squid to be a proxy itself, and a transparent one at that. Alternatively, you can just setup the proxy the same as everything else, even the same as pfSense, and pfsense will route traffic on port 3128 to that proxy.
Hope that made since.Ok. I need to read a little bit to implement the "clean" solution with Squid.
But for the "easy" way, do you mean that I can configure the guests behind the router to use http://<router_ip>:3128 as proxy?</router_ip> -
Yes. the same proxy you used with pfsense and your workstation.

Ok! Finally I have got my target ;D ;D
I have installed and enabled Squid to be a transparent proxy against internal network.
I have also enabled Squid to use an upstream proxy (the one of the network I am in).It seems that everything is working. Thank you so much for helping
