We implemented WinGate to act as a proxy to some client machines by configuring the Internet Explorer proxy settings to point to Wingate on port 3129. We then added a "WWW Proxy Service" on WinGate listening on port 3129 to handle the traffic.
The issue is that when a client workstation browses the web, our firewall (all client workstations and WinGate are behind a firewall) sees the IP address of the WinGat server as the source IP, not the actual IP address of the workstation. We are thus unable to apply web browsing rules on the firewall based on the IP addresses of the workstations, as the firewall does not see the actual source IP of the workstation.
Is there a way to configure WinGate in some transparent mode so that, when clients browse the web, the firewall sees the actual IP of the workstation and not WinGate?
Thanks!
