[8.160][BUG][FIXED] HTTP Transparent Proxy not working for Wireless Networks

When the HTTP Proxy is set in Transparent mode, Wireless Networks will not be able to browse the web through the proxy... This is with a wireless network defined as a "Separate Zone" with correct packet filters and NAT MASQ rules defined, and the network is in the allowed network list in the Proxy configuration (in fact, this exact backup file was restored from a working 8.102 installation). I have to manually configure the proxy settings in the browser to point at the default 8080 port.

Seems like it's similar to the issue I found during the 8.100 beta.

I might also add that with http proxy off, it won't work with simple packet filters... wierd.

Hi guys,
there is a new feature in the wireless security where you need to associate a SSID with an AP. I had the same issue and I was poking around the menu tabs when I found this new feature.

wireless security -> access points -> access point and ssid grouping.

Ticked a couple of boxes and some of my wireless functions have returned.

Regards

Thanks Ian for pointing this out. It seems very likely that this has the same root cause as this, so i tagged them on the same Mantis ID.

I did this (I was one of the first to report this issue)... still broken.

Is it really just HTTP that is broken? Do ICMP pings get through correctly?

I had the same issue, but fixed it with the following steps.

1)  Deleted AP from Astaro (Wireless Security>>Access Points>>Active Access Points) and disabled Wireless Security (Wireless Security>>Global Settings>>Wireless Security Status).
2)  Unplugged AP and used hardware reset button.
3)  Re-enabled Wireless Security in Astaro.
4)  Plugged AP back in.
5)  Approved re-detected AP.
6)  Ensured that wireless network was checked for AP (Wireless Security>>Access Points>>Access Point and SSID Grouping TAB).

Don't know if all of these steps were necessary.  I can only say that it worked for me.

Sounds good Scott... would still mean trouble for anyone updating... hopefully they'll find the root cause.

Hi guys,
did either of you notice a decrease in throughput after the upgrade on the APs.

I might give mine the works as well later tonight to see if that clears another bug I have which is under investigation.

Also, when you did those steps did you get an error that the SSID or something similar already exists when you enabled the Wireless Security?
