Hello to all mikrotikers,

I would like to know if there is any possibility to limit bandwith to customers if the customers are not using as a default gateway the mikrotik and instead they are using as a default gateway a proxy?

this is how the network looks like the graphic attached...

Is there any way to limit from my rb1000 to the user 512k, if the user is having as gateway the proxy (proxy without limitations by the rb1000) ??

tks for your answers

if it's TProxy - then no problem =)

Hey chupaka...

I tried already the proxy as a Transparent Proxy...but still don't limit the users...unless the users have as default gateway the RB1000...

any idea?

tks for your answers

sorry chupaka....I thought it was transparent proxy...i see that is different the TPROXY

i'll try and let you know

tks in advance

well, the main idea:

if you use ordinary proxy (in manual or transparent configuration), all requests to the websites are going from proxy's IP address, so you cannot distinguish your clients.

when you use TProxy (sorry, guys, I haven't used it yet just a theory...), your proxy server does not change user's address in the requests (it works really transparently), so you see users' IP addresses even after proxying

Yip thats right.

so in that picture the proxy would be inline with the router heading to the internet, as it needs to be in the path to proxy the port 80 requests passing through it.

Unless you have a good working knowledge of how squid works (the proxy programe) then i suggest avoiding TPROXY.
