Can i make the transparent proxy work when mikrotik configured as a bridge?
Yes, refer to http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.8/ip/firewall.content#6.35.2 foor more information.
Thanks,
Anyway, that seems to complicated to me, and it is done when using router.
I have my mikrotik configured as a bridge, not doing any routing or firewalling, i just shape traffic on this machine. I just wanted to activate web proxy, and its working OK, but i have to put ssetings on every users browses to use mikrotik IP adress and port 8080 as proxy server. I have somewhere read that it can not work as transparent proxy when configured in bridge mode, or it was only in 2.7 version?
Where can i find more specific info what firewall rules should i set to make it work transparent, and should i set it in interfaces/bridge/firewall
or on IP/firewall.
Thanks
try this:
/ip firewall dst-nat add dst-port=80 protocol=tcp action=redirect to-dst-port=8080 to-dst-address=ip.of.your.proxy
proxys work on layer 3 (IP, to be strictly: on layer 5) and bridges on layer 2, therefore no device is talking ip the bridge by default.
afaik transparent proxy working needs the router to be the default gateway.
