problem with Web-Proxy

RouterOS General
1

Hi all,

i installed Mikrotik 2.9.38 on my computer with 1 GB mem, 80 GB hardisk, 3200 intel processor. and i set web proxy with current setting :

enabled: yes
src-address: 0.0.0.0
port: 8888
hostname: “proxy”
transparent-proxy: yes
parent-proxy: 0.0.0.0:0
cache-administrator: “webmaster”
max-object-size: 4096KiB
cache-drive: system
max-cache-size: 102400KiB
max-ram-cache-size: unlimited
status: running
reserved-for-cache: 102400KiB
reserved-for-ram-cache: 800768KiB

redirect all port 80 to the mikrotik


chain=dstnat protocol=tcp dst-port=80 action=redirect
to-ports=8888

it works perfectly for a few day. after that, my client complain about some web couldn’t be opened, just a blank screen. I tried to ping to my gateway, everything is fine. After that i disabled the web-proxy, clear all the cache, enabled web-proxy again, and it works, the page that couldn’t be opened, is fine again.

This situation already happened a few times, and i use the same solution for this. Is this a bug in mikrotik/web-proxy feature? Anyone ever had the same problem? Or we should use other linux + squid as the proxy? Please help me with this. Thank you

please try to upgrade to newest version available and enable webproxy-test package

edit:
do not be frightened by that “test” v2.9 is stable

Thank your for your replies bro.

I tried to enable the webproxy-test package and after i reboot, i found that i have enabled the web proxy test and automatically disable web proxy, and the settings is more than what offered in web proxy. So should i use webproxy-test rather than webproxy? Will it give me better performance? Thank you

yes you should use webproxy-test, it is better and faster
