Hi Heikaljaffar,
let me answer your questions...
- Its a Standard Virtual Server with HTTP profile selected
- Yes
- Yes
- Point your browser to the IP:Port of the Virtual Server
Cheers, Kai
heikaljaffar_16thanks Kai. I tried that but got proxy not responding on my browser. the virtual server source address is 0.0.0.0/0 and destination address is the internal IP service port 80 and another virtual server service port 443 http profile is HTTP Source Address Translation is Automap
am trying to capture the ip going out through firewall but dont see any traffic source from my Virtual server IP and destination Internet.

Its working now!
As mentioned by Kai , the browser needs to point to virtual server IP and corresponding port. my virtual server is using port 443 so i tried putting the browser proxy port to 443 and tried https://www.google.com which works fine.
