I'm curious as to why you need the proxy info in the first place. It |
| 15 |
sounds like you can connect out just fine, so why bother with |
| 16 |
configuring a proxy? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
If you are allowed to send icmp and udp traffic out of the network, a |
| 19 |
traceroute should show you what hops are on your network. If routing |
| 20 |
forces all traffic through this proxy, it'll probably be one of these |
| 21 |
hops. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Or, they could be doing policy routing where only tcp port 80/443 |
| 24 |
traffic goes through the proxy, and all other traffic goes out some |
| 25 |
other route. In that case, you'll need to use a tcp traceroute program |
| 26 |
configured to probe on port 80, so it is forced through the proxy. |
| 27 |

Anyways, it sounds like that company has a few issues with their |
| 29 |
security policy if it's so easily circumvented. |
