transparent proxy redirect

RouterOS General
1

Hi.

I’ve configured web proxy on my RB1000, but the redirect rule in the /firewall nat doesn’t appear to be working, i.e no bytes or packets are counting.

Here’s my rule:
;;; transparent proxy redirect
chain=dstnat action=redirect to-ports=8000 protocol=tcp in-interface=ether4 dst-port=80

I’m running routeros 3.17. Clients connected to the ether4 interface can browse without configuring their browsers to use proxy, but without the counter working i’m not sure what’s going on.

Any help?

At first u have to add masqurade rule. then redirect rule. or try disable in - interface.
In v3.17 it’s automatically in transparent mode. And in transparent mode, dont need to configure browser’s proxy.

I do have my local interfaces masqueraded before the redirect rule. Disbaling the in-interface doesn’t change anything (besides, i think it’s necessary to specify the in-interface to exclude the public interface).

Nice to know. With nothing to monitor i just hope it’s working.

Thanks.
