Title: Using separate router and DHCP, force all web traffic through Endian.
Post by: imekul on Saturday 20 October 2012, 06:30:43 am
I have a regular router that I use as my router and DHCP server.  I want to use Endian as a web filter.  I'd like to have all Internet traffic (or at least web traffic) automatically filter through Endian.

Can I do this?  The IP of the router is 192.168.0.1.  If I had the IP of Endian something like 192.168.0.2, can I somehow have a setup where all Internet traffic must pass through Endian?

Is this at all possible?  Anybody know?

When you run the 'Network Configuration' you will select 'gateway mode' and specify the ip address of your router (..0.1) when asked for.  Your DHCP server needs to specify the ip address of the endian firewall (..0.2) as the gateway for the workstations/clients.  Traffic/internet from the dhcp clients will then go to the endian firewall first and the endian firewall will forward/filter/proxy internet traffic/requests to the router.
