When I log into online accounts ecommerce accounts such as newegg.com with the transparent proxy in a routerboard it works fine. Of course my IP never changes when I shift from http to https because I am NAT'd and have one outside public IP.
When I have a transparent proxy on my Internet gateway things go quite differently. When I try to check out at newegg it always kicks me out. I assume this is because my IP will be different between HTTP and HTTPS.
I can do a bypass for this site to get around it but there seem to be way to many sites with this issue to do them all. Is there anyway to get the Mikrotik proxy to mascarade as the IP of the client its transparently caching? This would solve a lot of these issues. Perhaps a future feature?
The web cache can save 10 to 20 percent in bandwidth. It also speeds up slow sites such as mikrotik.com for us.
