Web Proxy Filtering and Caching / Re: New setup (newbie) issue with Web filter & internet access
« on: June 04, 2018, 08:46:47 pm »
Hi im_etten, just like you i'm a newbie and it happens that i tried the same today. I also did not have access to internet after inserting the firewall rules to deny proxy-bypassing.
In my case i found that i did not configure my browser to use the proxy (the IP address of the LAN port and port 3128 by default). Maybe this is also the case in your situation?
I found a screenshot (https://wiki.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/cachingproxy.html) in the howto about a caching proxy for Mozilla Firefox which depicts how you could configure Firefox. It is below the heading "Configure browser/Firefox". In Firefox you can find the setting going to "preferences", network proxy is at the bottom of the "general" settings page. After this, it should work, if not, restart Opnsense. After adding this setting and restarting Opnsense it worked fine for me!
