Hi,

i try to setup wpad.dat für my proxy. unfortunately, it seems that it's just possible for mobile clients to get a wpad.dat by http, not by https.

So, one need to change the firewallgui to http *shiver* to get this working. would it be possilbe to have port 80 and 443 for the webfrontend? this makes management by https and wpad by http possible.

Since this question is asked once a week, I wrote a howto about it:

https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=12026.0
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4116 CPU @ 2.10GHz (24 cores)
256 GB RAM, 300GB RAID1, 3x4 10G Chelsio T540-CO-SR

Thanks a lot for the weekliy reminder, done, works like a charm.

Btw. i was just using the wpad.dat, i did not use neither unbound settings, nor dhcp. I enter this manually on the client, as i just have a very small number of clients.

It seems to be a problem, that is why I raised https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/3416 -- When activated, `wpad.dat` file should be served on both 80/443 without needing redirects or authentication.
