I don’t know why it doesn’t work.

I hope you can help me with my problem.

Thanks in advance.

Your NAT rule shows an in-interface of WAN. Presumably you want to force users on the LAN to use the proxy, so you’d have to change the in-interface to the one facing users that should be redirected to the proxy.

Do you mean that I should put LAN interface on the in-interface?

Yes.

Think about what the rule means. Currently you’re saying, “take any new connection that is coming into the router via the WAN interface and destined for tcp/80 and redirect it to the local port tcp/3128 on the router”. That doesn’t match any connections from users behind the router going to web servers on the Internet because their traffic enters the router via the LAN interface.

I thnik that I have understood. So what should I do? Should I create another aditional rules that redirect the traffic to the users? How it would be?

Thanks for your help.

I don’t understand. If you’re trying to proxy yours, change the existing NAT rule to have an in-interface matcher for the LAN interface. Or what else are you trying to do?

I have solved the problem. I did that you told me.

Thanks a lot for your help.
