Title: proxy does not block specified website
Post by: jonaskellens on Sunday 21 June 2009, 07:06:27 am
Endian firewall community 2.2

proxy > http > content filter

block the following sites:
gambling.nl

but it is still possible to go to the website gambling.nl and visit its pages...
http proxy is enabled.

How can I force the use of the proxy to the web clients (firefox) ? I mean : use the proxy or else no internet-access at all.
I think visiting all webpages is still allowed because the proxy is not used...

You can force clients to use a proxy 2 ways.

First change proxy to 'no authentication' and block outgoing ports 80 and 443 on firewall.
Then you can either manually change all client's browsers to use your proxy port settings
or
use the inbuilt automatic proxy configuration file - http://{ENDIAN_GREEN_IP}/proxy.pac

Could you please suggest me about how to configure as above, I try to configure automatic proxy but never success. Thank you very much.

First you must stop all outgoing connection on ports 80 and 443
Turn Outgoing Firewall ON
Change outgoing rule -  allow HTTP (TCP/80) Off
Change outgoing rule -  allow HTTPS (TCP/443) Off

You must turn the proxy on
Enable HTTP Proxy
Change proxy mode to 'no authentication'

You must tell your browser to use the automatic configuration script.
If you are using Internet Explorer, go to:

Tools => Internet Options => Connections => Lan Settings
Tick - Use automatic configuration script
In the Address box, type http://111.222.333.444/proxy.pac

You need to replace 111.222.333.444 with your Endian Green IP address.
