USE OPNSENSE AS A PROXY CACHE ONLY
« on: March 09, 2020, 11:11:30 am »
I have all my firewalls and systems over Unifi system. I have two gateways 1 adsl and 1 satellite with unifi balancing, but i need a proxy that unifi doesn't to push web pages of the satellete wan more fast.

I want to use OPNSense only acting as a web proxy cache, this is possible?
With one cable on the LAN from unifi switch to OPNsense is enough? Wan comes from LAN like a normal PC client on unifi, my opnsense is like another client more of unifi system.

Yeah should be possible.
But why do you want a full running Firewall just for a Proxy. I think it would be more efficient to just install Squid somewhere :)

Take a screenshot of your proxy setting :)
