In my lab (10mbps lab license on a home lab esxi) with this configuration, google is as quick with LTM as proxy as without it, even if I enable SSL FORWARD PROXY.

 

the main goal of this share is to show how LTM standalone works as a proxy from basics to SSL inspection.

 

You can change tcp profile in the virtual server to :

 

  • version 13
    • f5-tcp-lan client side
    • f5-tcp-wan server side
  • earlier versions
    • tcp-lan-optimized client side
    • tcp-wan-optimized server side
