Problem with transparent proxy

[Guest]

[buee]

It was difficult enough for my noob brain to comprehend how the proxy works and how to get everything set up transparently, but now I have the complete opposite problem, EVERYTHING is blocked.  I have scoured the settings and am not seeing any reason that things such as google.com and yahoo.com are filtered.

I broke a rule of networking and did this remotely, so I know the box/internet is working on it.  I've turned off as much content filtering and phrase restriction that I can (for some reason, not all of it can be turned off).  Is there something I'm missing or is there a way I can have it block ONLY the URLs I designate?  I would really like the content filtering but if that is the problem, it can go.  I'm sure it's just another noob mistake.  Anyone have any thoughts?

Oh, in case this helps, I don't ever get an access denied page or anything like that.  The browser just times out.  I know it's the proxy config because when I turn it off, I can get anywhere I please.

Seems silly but you have turned on the proxy right? On the configuration page next to Enable HTTP Proxy  there is a blue button with a | on it.
Then i would check that your subnet is in the allowed subnets per zone.
Also remember that after you save the configuration you need to apply the configuration before it goes in effect.

Next i would test the default policy, set it to unrestricted and see if you get out. If you do you have something amiss in your content filters. I'de start from step 1 again.

Have you change proxy port to 80. If you do so than you make the same mistake as i am.
