Hi SCRN,

The wildcard VIP and also the HTTP Tunnel are both not needed to run an Explicit HTTP Proxy. Dont know why the author included them?

You may check a guide published by Stanislas_Piro2 as alternative. You just need a VS, a custom HTTP Profile and a DNS resolver. Nothing more... Then attach the provided iRule to the VS hosting the Explicit Proxy.

Use F5 LTM as HTTP Proxy - DevCentral (Only apply the steps from "Create HTTP Proxy Virtual Server")

Cheers, Kai
