I’m having trouble with my web proxy i have it set up as per documentation, when i request port 80 traffic the clients counter goes up to 1 as does the requests, but ie still times out.

The only other inconsistency is when I use the Check Drive command I get the error log:
web-proxy error while checking harddrive failed to repair file system

The drive formats fine and proxy can be enabled as far as i can tell.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Jrslick22 maybe if u give more details i could or anybody in this forum could help. what are u suing static ip address, hotspot, or pppoe or what ever??? is it a proxy server that belongs to ur network or a proxy from ur isp??? any details will let us help u better

what version are you using?
this error was fixed in latest versions

ip web-proxy> print
enabled: yes
src-address: 0.0.0.0
port: 8080

transparent-proxy: no

ip web-proxy>

I had this set up and running a while back with transparent proxy, but cant remember how i got it to work.

I want to cache some of the web traffic on this RB to save a little bandwidth, as it is long overdue for a bump up.

In my IE i have set the proxy to 10.10.X.X port 8080, (the ip being that of the RB) like i mentioned before the status shows

Clients:1
Requests:15
Hits:0
Cache Size:0
Reserved for cache:4087

Received from servers:0
Sent to clients:15
Hit Sent to clients:0

when i try get a web page i get the MT proxy error page connection failed, 110 Connection time out.

it is my understanding that i dont have to have anyother cache running upstream and that the MT has the ability to cache the info locally?

thanks.

running 2.8.23
AMD 1200
128mb
10gb - cache (only 4gb used)
64mb system drive (flash os)

How can i find out if i still able to upgrade the OS? dont you get 1 year of upgrades, then you have to buy a new OS CF disk or something?

Thanks very much

see /system license print
yes you have 1 year for upgades, after that you have to buy upgrade license

note: you'll not be able to get 10gb of cache with 128mb of ram

well i guess first of all u should enable transparent proxy. alo u should add a rule in dst-nat something like this:
/ ip firewall dst-nat
add dst-address=!10.10.x.x/32:80 protocol=tcp action=redirect \
to-dst-port=8080 comment="" disabled=no

but also why to put the ip of the mikroik in ur browser transparent proxy is used to eleminate this config.
hope that i helped u and if u need more help pls post more details about ur connection not about ur hardware to be capable of helping

I did have the transparent proxy set up, the counters were going crazy as users started being redirected to the cache, but once again no web pages just error messages, i have disablesd the NAT rule untill i get it working from my machine.

Is there some way i can check to see if i have run over a year?

thanks.

lucky me!

Upgrade on Mikrotik are lots of fun.

If you go past one year since purchase you can't even install bug fixes. This has nothing to do with upgrading but just putting in the newer version that has the bugs fixed. They should allow us to upgrade within the same version number even after the one year boundry.

Bug fixes and upgrades should be treated differently in respect to licensing.
