Sick of using HTTP Proxy

I've been using the HTTP proxy with user authentication for a couple years now and I'm to the point where it's more trouble than it's worth.  I've had so many things not work and it's frequently difficult to make rules that get around it.  More often than not I can't figure out the necessary packet filter rule because the packet filter log isn't showing me what's blocked. 

I don't think I can switch to transparent proxy because that only allows port 80 traffic.  Is that correct?  So everything that uses a different port will stop working. 

I was thinking of disabling http proxy altogether, but I guess then I'd lose out on virus and content filtering, right?

Is there a way to keep the virus and content filtering, but not use HTTP Proxy?

  • The transparent proxy will work with ports other than 80... these can be adjusted in the advanced tab for the HTTP/S proxy, under allowed services.
