In transparent mode, users will not authenticate. If you need authentication, then I think the best way would be to deny direct outbound access from Green via outbound rules. If users want to surf, they must use (and authenticate to, if configured) the proxy. Shaun

I've installed Endian on a server for testing purposes. My local network is a Windows Domain controlled one, I have 5 clients, one MS Windows 2003 Std Server acting as Domain Server, I have DHCp for my 5 clients, the router that the provider is installing is a 2wire modem, 27x series (I know about the security stuff about this modems, but the ISP (Prodigy) only supplies this kind of hardware). So, local network, one Endian Box with two network cards, GREEN + RED, GREEN interface is static ip, RED interface is static ip. So basically I have: LOCAL ENDIAN 2WIRE NETWORK <---> GREEN BOX RED <---> MODEM <---> INTERNET (192.168.10.0) (192.168.1.0) I've enabled the Proxy service to server for my 5 clients with local authentication option, the problem arises when I see that one of the clients is accesing the internet without authenticating against the proxy, so I said, Damn! Transparent Proxy. After some researching I found that the 2wire modem is a router, so it is doing its job routing traffic to internet from my local network :D. Well, I did some research and found that I could use my adls modem as just a bridge and also found that I could configure Endian to do the authentication job with PPPoE, so I made the configuration, but the modem just won't work with Endian, so I ended up going back to normal network connection with the modem working as a router, but I really need to authenticate all my traffic. So, after all this sad history :D, my question is, Is there a way to avoid my users from accessing the internet without authenticating against my proxy and leave the 2wire modem acting as router ? Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ _______________________________________________ Efw-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/efw-user ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Efw-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/efw-user
