Web Proxy used alongside Masquerade

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

Between my LAN and WAN I have a simple Transparent Web Proxy (port 8080) which works well.

I have two entries for NAT:

src-nat: Masquerade All
dst-nat: Redirect Port 80 to 8080

I believed that my LAN side IP’s would be hidden, but this is not the case.

If for example I use http://www.lagado.com/proxy-test the IP of the particular LAN side PC used is displayed.

I didn’t necessarily expect Web Proxy to hide my LAN side IP’s, but I did expect to be able to use Masquerade to achieve this.

I have three questions:

  1. What am I doing wrong i.e. why does Masquerade not work with my Web Proxy?
  2. Does the ‘Action:redirect’ rewrite the port no. in the packet i.e. change 80 to 8080?
  3. Under ‘IP:Web Proxy’ what is the field ‘Src Address’? it doesn’t seem to matter what value is entered.

Thanks for any help.

Colin
