Web Proxy Filtering and Caching / Newbie Web Proxy Bypass Question
« on: November 14, 2020, 12:19:57 pm »
Hi Folks,
I have a new installation complete with DNSCrypt, IDS and Virus Scanning / Web Proxy. Everything is working great except for one issue. I have configured and enabled transparent proxy for ad blocking and virus filtering and have no issue with sites that have been whitelisted to avoid the security certificate issue. But I have certain devices (Roku, SmartThings, etc...) that I would like to bypass completely as there are too many URL's that I am unfamiliar with to whitelist each one separately. I have read that this can be done by creating a no redirect rule prior to the proxy redirect rules using NAT and selecting a group of IP's (or even better hosts as I am using DHCP). The problem I have is that I'm more software developer, less network and need a step by step on how to do this. I've searched the documentation, forums and google to no avail. I've looked at the rule configuration, and groups/aliases for the IP's and it's not obvious to me on how to accomplish this.
Thank You.
