SSL VPN & Proxy Settings

Question

Hi Forum,

i have set up SSL VPN succesfully for my customers. i want to let those remote users access the astaro proxy service via ssl vpn. i thought that it would be enough to have internet explorer settings with the proxy server configured, but IE ignores the proxy settings and accesses the internet directly. has anyone a clue how i can force IE to use the proxy server from astaro over the ssl vpn connection?

thanks in advance,

regards

maik

xianx, there are several things: Add the "Internet" object to 'Local Networks' in the SSL VPN Profile. Add the "VPN Pool (SSL)" object to 'Allowed networks' in 'Allowed networks' in Web Filtering. Create a Masquerading rule 'VPN Pool (SSL) -> External'. Add "VPN Pool (SSL)" to the firewall rules for "Internal (Network)" where you want the VPN users to have the same access. Cheers - Bob

If you don't have IPv6 activated, you can't drag an object that uses v6 into 'Local Networks'. I just tried this with the "Internet" object and had no problem, so you may need to use the "Internet v4" object.
