Web Proxy errors

Mon Oct 10, 2016 8:27 am

Hi

I have been having the following issue with the web proxy on a RB2011UiAS,
where the web proxy is set to allow access to certain sites, and deny access to others,
sites such as google, news etc are allowed,
sites such as general social media are denied
other sites offering updates are also denied.

with the web proxy enabled and trying to access the following website: http://www.advancedvoice.co.za
from inside the lan network this is the error that I get:
Error with Proxy.png
when I have added rules to allow access to the website, namely:
*.*advancedvoice*.*
the counter registers hits, but on the client PCs end the browser displays the following:
Error with Proxy access rule.png
I have tried various rules to allow access, but still get this error.
All the other sites are accessible and denied websites are in-accessible.

any ideas as to how to get around this?

Hi all

I have tried and tested the following access rules to allow
access to the website:
dst-host: *.*advancedvoice*.*
*.advancedvoice*.*
*advancedvoice*

When I try to access the website the counter registers hits,
but still get the gateway timed out error.

I then tried doing a tracert route from the client machine,
and noticed that the web url is translated as 197.242.151.110

A nslookup of this address gives the following result:
Name: host16.axxesslocoal.co.za
Address: 197.242.151.110

So i have tried the following rule on the firewall:
add chain=forward action=accept src-address=192.168.5.12 dst-address=197.242.151.110 in-interface=ether10 out-interface=PPPOE_Out1 comment="Test_Rule"

Where 192.168.5.12 is the IP address of the client machine.

I have tried the above rule along with the access rules for the web proxy
but still get the gateway timed out error
