Internet access w/o proxy set up in browser [FIXED]

[ANaumenko]

Hello.

We use Wingate 6.5.0 on our communication server for internet sharing for all office computers with different access rights (based on assumed users by IP address of computer). Each computer browsers configured to use proxy on 8080 port. Some days ago our management decided to create a customer hot-spot access to the internet (on all 3 locations, locations connected via fiber chanell with main office).

I've configured different subnet for all hot-spots, setup a second ip address for internal network card on server, Wingate created a binding for this address automatically.

Hot-spot is WiFi access point configured with DHCP enabled.
IP address: 192.168.1.1
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.101 (this is communication server second IP address)
DNS: 192.168.1.101 (using WinGate DNS)

Main network has 10.0.0.0/24 configured, where 10.0.0.2 - communication server and 10.0.0.3 - DNS (Active Directory)

It's work quite good, when our employes access internet - all access right works fine with their browser proxy configured to 10.0.0.2:8080
But when we try to connect such a customer on WiFi link - no access rights working and in GateKeeper all connections shown as NAT to the internet site IP's via 80 port.

How configure Wingate to handle this connections through it without setting up proxy settings in customers computer browsers but keeping access policies?

Hi

the easiest way to do this is to get the WWW proxy server to intercept connections on port 80.

Under the Sessions tab of the WWW proxy server, make sure that connection interception is enabled, and that there is an enabled entry in it for port 80.

This won't interfere with services running on port 80, it only affects connections made by NAT through WinGate.
