I tried that but it doesn't let me navigate out and that's what I find super weird,
the idea was to leave a couple of servers free of the web proxy
and assign the ports on the firewall
But it's not working

my rules in the firewall are

    local network dns any

local network websurfin any

etc, I even tried to control by adding a time filter to it and it doesn't work either,
Can you help me please
thank you.

Ola,

seems that you did not MASQ the internal network.

If bypassing the proxy, there needs to be masquerading in place for the internal devices to be able to access the internet without proxy.

You will find this setting under "Network Protection / NAT / Masquerading"

if it is added

The idea would be that the users who go through the proxy have a schedule eg
Monday to Friday
from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

and that after those the equipment is blocked

can you help me with an example
please
thank you.

Does this mean MASQUERADING is working now? (This has nothing to do with a schedule / time table or whatever, the underlying network structure has to work correctly first, then we can add your "specials")

Can you please be so kind and answer the questions we are posing here?

It is extremely difficult to help you, if you are jumping from one thing to another.

yes it works perfect now
the machines that are not in the list within the proxy
they can navigate using firewall policies
thank you very much for your peace of mind

Greetings from Germany to Chile!

I am working with UTM firewalls since the early days, when the company was named Astaro. I like their GUI and they way objects are handled and so I am here, helping others a bit with their UTM setups, if my knowledge allows.

So back to your next question: how to have a time schedule for your proxy users?

First: you cannot use firewall rules for this purpose, because proxy-settings are applied before packetfilter-rules!

Have a look at Rule #2 here: https://community.sophos.com/utm-firewall/f/recommended-reads/22065/rulz

Second: there is a way to have time-based webfilter-policies, this is what you are looking for.

An example how to do this can be found here:

thank you very much, the perfect example works,
set the hours and days, then assign a group of teams
and configure them by schedule
It works very well
Thank you very much from Chile, the application is fantastic.
