We recently upgraded a Mikrotik hotspot location to RouterOS 2.9 from 2.8. Our HTTP proxy to our Squid box will no longer work. Below is the code snippet before and after.
2.8
dst-address=:80 protocol=tcp action=nat to-dst-address=SQUID IP to-dst-port=3128
2.9
chain=dstnat protocol=tcp dst-port=80 action=dst-nat to-addresses=SQUID IP to-ports=3128
What am I missing? Mikrotik newbie
See this example: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/How_to_make_transparent_web_proxy
Maybe this thread : http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/transparent-web-proxy/25670/1
And maybe this: http://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/EG07/sunday.pdf
your examples show how to set up a proxy on the RouterOS device, but the original poster wants to redirect traffic to an external Squid Proxy, right, ericmule?
That is correct normis. I’m not interested in using the web-proxy. Simply redirect HTTP to an external proxy source.
Does your nat rule count packets?
