Zenarmor and Web Filtering as Proxy

Hi,
I am trying to achieve the following but did not get a clear answer from Zenarmor so far.
On my LAN, I have 2 gateways.
One of them in OPNsense using Zenarmor plugin for Web Filtering (192.168.1.247)

The other gateway has no web filtering. (192.168.1.2)

Let's say I have COMPUTER01 on the same LAN, with the default gateway being the OPNSense Zenarmor (192.168.1.247). I can safely surf with web filtering.

Now let's say I have COMPUTER02 - still on the same LAN, but with the other gateway - with no web filtering (192.168.1.2).

Question: How can I use the OPNsense / Zenarmor server as a PROXY (within Windows Internet settings) on COMPUTER02 while using a different gateway ?

I have tried to write a .pac file containing the following command at the end " return "PROXY 192.168.1.247:3128"; "....

but get an error like "An error occurred during a connection".


Any suggestion ?
Thanks

Hi,

The team has already answered this question on your ticket. You can install Zenarmor directly to your Computer02 or 2. FW if it is a supported platform. Please check the link for the supported platforms.

If you use windows, Zenarmor will have windows client agent in version 1.18 which will be shipped in September. You can not inspect Computer02 traffic in the current scenario without using OPNsense as gateway.

Try manually setting the proxy on COMPUTER02 to 192.168.1.247:3128 in Windows Internet settings. Make sure to bypass the proxy for local addresses if needed. Also, check OPNsense firewall rules to ensure they aren't blocking the proxy traffic, and verify Zenarmor is configured to allow connections from other IPs.
