Hi Chris,

 

Here is the outbound when going through proxy

 

 

client->LTM->proxy->LTM->firewall->internet

 

 

Here's the outbound when the irule directs the traffic directly to the internet

 

 

client->ltm->firewall->internet.

 

 

 

And the firewall only allows outbound access from the proxy's IP address? Any chance we can have the LTM SNAT the traffic and have the firewall allow the SNAT addresses?
