VPN with Client Proxy Settings enabled

Hi there, this is something I am trying to do.

 

end user --> F5 --> proxy ---> destination.

 

But what I really want to do is when user VPN into my system it will get the proxy and update the VPN. Is there anyway to do this? or not possible?

 

Try to do VPN with browser proxy setting (i think this is right thing ask for?)

 

Thanks

  • Get the proxy and update the VPN? Sorry but I can't understand what you're actually trying to achieve.

     

  • So there is a way to do this by going to APM --> network access --> select the network you want to use proxy on --> Network settings (top tab) and enable check box Client proxy settings.

     

    however there are few things need to configure i.e:

     

    Client Proxy Uses HTTP for Proxy Autoconfig Script

     

    Client Proxy Autoconfig Script

     

    Client Proxy Address

     

    Client Proxy Port

     

    Bypass Proxy For Local Addresses

     

    So I have configure the following Client Proxy Uses HTTP for Proxy Autoconfig Script (checked), Client Proxy Address (ip address of proxy server) Client Proxy Port (8080) Bypass Proxy For Local Addresses (checked).

     

    According to F5 I have to use Client Proxy Autoconfig Script and this where I am stuck.

     

    I have tried to follow http://tektab.com/2012/09/26/setting-up-automatic-proxy-configuration-pac-file/ but I dont know how to make this work.

     

    Does anyone here know?

     

  • if you are using a PAC file, enter the following:

     

    Client Proxy Settings - Check

     

    Client Proxy Uses HTTP for Proxy Autoconfig Script - Check

     

    Client Proxy Autoconfig Script - http://proxy.internetcompany.com:8083

     

    This assumes of course you use port 8083 to download your PAC file.
