I am suffering from another strange issue in my hotspot area. I have 2 servers in my same lan 1 is acting as hotspot (Mikrotik 3.14) and other is a simple proxy server (MS ISA). I need to give direct access to internet via proxy to some of my users without providing any username password of hotspot. They assign proxy in their browser and their internet should work. But request of these users are getting redirected to hotspot page even though they giving proxy in their browsers and most of the times they not able to browse. Any idea why i am suffering from this issue?? and how to solve it.
I think you may need
/ip hotspot ip-binding
add address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx type=bypassed
or
add mac-address=yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy type=bypassed
This will allow the user to bypass the hotspot by either an IP, or a mac address.
ADD: If you have two separate gateways on this local network, where one has the hotspot, and the other does not, then the challenge is the default gateway assignment. Change the gateway on the computers that go through the proxy to the proxy IP.
whos mac address or ip address it will be which i am binding?? is it the address of my other gateway/proxy server or the client’s. There is one more thing i have remote installation server in my lan which does not work while my hotspot server is on. if i bypass that machine ip as well will it work??
