Mikrotik behind corporate proxy : how to access internet?

RouterOS General
1

Hello. I am setting up an RB951G that will live on a corporate network. The objective is to make a small NAT’d network that exposes a single IP (the router) to the corporate network. We are doing this because our unit is building a small NUC cluster for testing out distributed docker containers and Corporate wants us to keep it all on a single IP until we’re ready to deploy something production ready.

All computers in corporate network need to specify a manual proxy to access the internet, of the form:

Http proxy: internet05.example.com port 8080
Https proxy: internet05.exaple.com port 8080
FTP … same
Socks host … same
Ignore hosts: localhost, intranet etc

In addition, I need to specify my user login and password.

It is easy to enter these details on a PC. How to I do it with RouterOS? I use the WebUI.

You can configure other devices behind RB to use given proxy (you have to allow access to it via RB). But the RB itself, I don’t think there’s any way how to do it. It’s a router, it’s not meant to live as client behing http proxy.
