Title: transparent proxy for https not working for 16.1.17-amd64
Post by: jjk.saji on June 29, 2016, 01:24:38 pm

Hi All,
I have tried around 6 to 7 times installing and configuring OPNsense .
I started with 16.1.8 installation and latter upgraded to 16.1.17. Each time when I try I able to configure and make transparent proxy  work for http , but not for https
I have followed the how to do for transparent proxy, cross checked and made sure I have not missed any steps during the proxy setup as per the document.

https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/proxytransparent.html
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/cachingproxy.html

But each time, only I am able to make http work as trasparent proxy, not the the https.
Has anyone faced this issue, is it only me with this problem
Or did i have missed some fine setup.

Guidance and advice requested
Thanks
Joseph John

Hmm,
I think we have to wait till 16.7 release
read from the docs https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/proxy.html , that they do not recommend and it will be ready by only 16.7 version
Will wait or try to download the test instance and check
thanks

Hi Joseph John,

that's a very old comment in the docs, I think this is just a misconfiguration on your part. The HTTPS proxy was added in 16.1.9, we're now at 16.1.18 with very little changes to it since then. There are no new changes on the 16.7 for this.

The most important step: provide a redirect rule vor HTTPS (443) as well as HTTP (80), it doesn't work otherwise.


Cheers,
Franco

i am new to the software and managed to have it working.
have you created the SSL for the proxy ? have you enabled the transparent ssl ?

Thanks Jamerson,
I am also very much new to opnsense.
Yes each time when I installed opnsense  I have created the SSL for proxy , enabled the transparent proxy ( see http is working )
Later I found out from the url
 https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/proxy.html
They have SSL issue with transparent proxy, will wait till 16.7 released, today I upgraded my VM instance to 16.7 developemnt release , just looking around it
thanks
