Transparent HTTP Proxy ?? Need help

Router
1

Hi,

i don’t have any idea how to get our network up and running.

I have a Slate 7 and we want to use it for testing in our corporate network.

Example:

  • Slate 7 connected via WIFI to a corporate network
  • Users connected to Slate 7 have Internal Corporate Access and Internet

The Problem with that is, that we have a http/https Proxy for Internet Access in our corporate network.

My Problem is, that I have absolutely no idea how to set a Proxy on the Slate 7 that End Users get Internet Access.

Also it would be awesome if the proxy is just the specific proxy server when im connected to this specific wifi.

Thanks :slight_smile:

If the Slate 7 is connected to the corporate network, chances are the corporate proxy is configured for all internet traffic which would include traffic from the Slate 7.

On the Slate 7 you’d need a setup like Configuring Squid as a Transparent Proxy | Dominik Rys

The iptables prerouting table or similar (I believe the firewall has changed) will need to be configured to redirect ports 80 & 443 to the proxy’s port.

I’d check with your networking & security teams beforehand. It sounds like you are trying to bypass a corporate proxy which is there for security reasons. Probably state with what you are trying to achieve as there may be alternative solutions which fits the security model.
