How to setup a proxy to external host?

MattWegrzyn
I am looking to see if there's a way to setup an IP address on our network as a proxy to an external host outside of our network.

Is this possible via the UTM device?

Say for instance that our ip address is 1.1.1.1 and we want port 80 to act as a proxy to Google's ip address on port 80.

My goal is simple, but not sure if Sophos is capable of such a setup?

    I'm having a hard time figuring out what you're looking for based on the description.  I can think of a few possibilities:

    -If you're saying that you want your surfing to appear as though it's coming from another IP owned by someone else, then no.  That's called spoofing and is a very bad thing.

    -If you want to use an upstream parent proxy, then yes.  See Web Protection > Web Filter Profiles > Parent Proxies

    -That perhaps you're wanting to forward requests to a new destination (different from proxying).....maybe from internal network, maybe from external.....impossible to tell when you use an example IP of 1.1.1.1.  This could be handled by a DNAT.
