How to connect to Internet in a transparent way?

[inigoayo]

Hello,

I've achieved to connect a client to Internet through Wingate Server using the ENS driver.

Client NIC parameters:
IP: 192.168.1.229
Gateway: 192.168.1.185 (Wingate Server's IP)
DNS: 192.168.1.185 (Wingate's DNS service IP)

In this way the client connects to Internet via NAT without authentication.
How to configure Wingate to ask for authentication in this mode? (Without specifying any proxy parameter in the explorer)

I know that if I configure the Internet Explorer options and specify the Proxy Server Port & Address I can connect to Internet with Authentication but this is exactly what I don't want. Imagine I can't touch the client's computer, only assing IP's via DHCP.

Is this possible with Wingate? How must it be configured?

Regards.

In the WWW Proxy on WinGate, set the "Intercept connections" option to be on. This means any traffic like you describe will be sent from the driver to WinGate's proxy.

This allows you to use proxy rules (And authentication) while still having the clients think (And being configured) as if they are using NAT.
