Cascade wingate for one site

[Andrm]

Can I configure WWW proxy connection through cascaded server only for ONE site, but directly to all others?

In a way - you can. Try using WPAD file where the proxy for this only site would be another proxy server.

Off the top of my head, this could easily be done in one of two ways.

1. If the program that needs to use a cascading proxy is a separate piece of software to the web browser, then you could create a second proxy server in WinGate, give it a unique name and port number, then point the application to the proxy.

*A new WWW Proxy can be created by right clicking inside the Services tab.


2. Use a WPAD file for proxy detection; when creating Web Proxy Auto Detection files, you should turn off caching of the WPAD on a selected LAN client you will test with; it means you can change the WPAD file in real-time; otherwise you may need to wait 30 mins for your changes to be seen:

*I know there is a better way to do this, but I do not have all my resources currently available. I have added an example WPAD.DAT file below (Which I have not tested), as well as what to put into Internet explorer; there is a lot of information on WPAD via search engines; the WPAD.DAT file needs to be saved too C:\Program Files\WinGate\Resources\:

Code: Select all

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)

{


if (shExpMatch( host,"*update.microsoft.com*"))

return "PROXY x.x.x.x:8080";

else

return "PROXY x.x.x.x:80";

}

Internet explorer --> Tools menu --> Internet Options --> Connections --> LAN Settings --> Use Automatic Configuration Script --> http://x.x.x.x/wingate-internal/resources/wpad.dat
