I've inherited a network, and am new to Squid Proxy server. I have, what appears to be, a relatively simple question I cannot figure out. How does my traffic get routed through the Squid proxy?
It is not inline (it's actually a VM) - the default gateway is my internet facing firewall
The firewall does not route anything through the proxy (it sees it as just another client device)
No GPOs that changes LAN Connection settings in Internet Properties
There are no other routers in the network
Clients are configured as "Auto Detect Settings" in Lan Settings.
I've exhausted the ways I know how to route internet traffic through a proxy server. If this server goes down, users internet access is down. If I select no proxy server in my browser, I can bypass it entirely and access the internet. So I guess, what is doing the auto-detecting, or how is it auto-detecting my squid proxy? I'm thinking through DNS maybe?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
