redirect request to a socks proxy

Hi David and welcome to the UTM Community!

I'm not sure what's where here or why you want to do this.  Is the gateway-server the UTM or is the router?

Thanks for your reply. Let me try add some more details to what i want to achieve.

I have sophos utm 9 installed on 192.168.1.100 with two nics (eth0 (internal) and eth1 (fibre))

i have a client (a tv actually) on ip address 192.168.1.1 which is want to run all traffic on port 80 over a socks proxy (192.168.1.102)

I tried various solutions like web filtering, nat and generic proxy configurations and iptables directly but cant get it to work

So currently its TV-> http://stream.com

and i was hoping to do 

TV->socks proxy -> socks server -> http://stream.com

I tried setting up a http to socks proxy which works fine in the browser (foxyproxy). I run a http proxy on 192.168.1.102:8080 that forwards to 192.168.1.102:1080 which works. It also works with just using the socks proxy directly.

Since I can only configure the basic ip settings on the tv I have no place to enter the proxy details. I believe I should be able to do this but just cant get it right.

Can you explain what role the socks proxy is supposed to play in your solution?

if you want all traffic to go to the proxy, what about setting .102 as the TVs default gateway?

My Isp shapes certain traffic like streaming services so to bypass that I encrypt the data using socks as the protocol.

The lg web os 2 operating system does not allow for me to specify the default gateway. Only Ip address and dns 1 and 2

Suggest yiu check again.  It is impossible to correctly configure a static address without the gateway parameter.

You are absolutely right! I can setup the gateway to be .102 where the proxy is running. However how do i configure the default gateway on .102 ?

You are right, the proxy device would have to be willing to capture traffic that had something else's destination address, so it is probably not doable   I don't think you would find the performance acceptable anyway -- VPN adds packet size and latency, while streaming requires low latency to be attractive.  And I don't encourage doing anything that your vendor considers a violation of their terms of service.
