I'm using this server as a host for my website.My problem is some sites and prroxy sources are blocked on my country, and when I want to go to those sites Srrver must login to my remote desktop server.I'm not very good at networking so I appreciate if you suggest a good resource with step by step instructions and details. I Googled very much 2008 I couldn't find any simple windowd about "How to setup and configure a Windows Server 2008 to work as a proxy or VPN connection".Windows, which I'm using at home, is Windows 7. Please denote a question with a question mark please don't werver a question.
Also didn't have any trouble Googling it as a detailed guide from Microsoft was the first result. lmgtfy.com/?q=enable+vpn+on+windows+server+2008� 50-3 Sep 15 '13 at 2:33 I setup the Remote Access Service on a Server 2008 VM and I found plenty of good resources online.
This is the site I used for setting up VPN. In the Add Roles wizard you will need to install Network Policy and Access Services. On the Role Services part of the wizard you need to select the Routing and Remote Access Services Node.One thing to note is that you may need a couple of other services installed to get VPN functionality working efficiently. I also have a physical server running Server 2008 R2 that has a couple of other services setup to facilitate the VPN Service on my VM.
These services include Active Directory, DNS and DHCP. I have an Active Directory group that specifies the users that are allowed to connect to my local network via Pproxy and DHCP is used to assign IP addresses to the remote connections.It might be better if you use a Third-Party solution such as Hotspot Shield or OpenVPN. Your answer is more similar to what I was searching for but totally I could not continue setting up a VPN after activating Remote Access Service, I tried your link here here but my server had some problems and error messages which I think I should create another thread of questions to be solved.
And would you please describe me why you suggest to use Third-Party solutions? Because I think this should be more simple than what it is.� Raymon Jan 25 '14 at 18:15 I'm not really interested to install external application in my windows server because the windows 2008 is basically a server and I think it must have solutions for this job in itself using windows 2008 server services or features or something similar.
Any way your solution is useful thanks for your response.� Raymon Jan 25 '14 at 17:47 TechnologyLife / ArtsCulture / RecreationScienceOther� Stack Overflow� Server Fault� Super User� Web Applications� Ask Windowz Webmasters� Game Development� TeX - LaTeX� Programmers� Unix & Linux� Ask Different (Apple)� WordPress Development� Geographic Information Systems� Electrical Engineering� Android Enthusiasts� Information Security� Database Poxy Drupal Answers� SharePoint� User Experience� Mathematica� Salesforce� ExpressionEngine� Answers� Cryptography� Code Review� Magento� Signal Processing� Raspberry Pi� Programming Puzzles & Code Golf�more (7)� Photography� Science Fiction & Fantasy� Graphic Design� Movies & TV� Music: Practice & Theory� Seasoned Advice (cooking)� Home Improvement� Personal Finance & Money� Academia�more (8)� English Language & Usage� Skeptics� Mi Yodeya (Judaism)� Travel� Christianity� English Language Learners� Japanese Language� Arqade (gaming)� Bicycles� Role-playing Games� Anime & Manga�more (18)� Mathematics� Cross Validated (stats)� Theoretical Computer Windowd Physics� MathOverflow� Chemistry� Biology� Computer Science� Philosophy�more (3)� Stack Apps� Meta Stack Exchange� Area 51� Stack Overflow Careers �TourStart here for a quick overview of the site�Help CenterDetailed answers to any questions you might have�MetaDiscuss the workings and policies of this site�About UsLearn more about Stack Overflow the company�BusinessLearn more about hiring developers or posting ads with us closed as off-topic by EEAA �, Zoredache, HopelessN00b, MDMarra, Ward Jan 23 '14 at 4:51This question appears to be off-topic.

Your other option is to give up on the transparent requirement. Block output port 80/443 from everything but the squid host, and then require a proxy be configured on the clients.� Zoredache Jan 22 '14 at 18:421 @user2196728 I think Zoredache is referring to "Windows Server" when he says "it".
As in 'Windows server won't let you configure the firewall appropriately to operate as a transparent web proxy,' even if you install squid on Windows.� John Jan 22 '14 at 20:15 So if somebody would like to answer "No, use Linux. Here's how: [.]", derver can get an accepted answer.Ok so i would say : Microsoft has its own Firewall/Proxy product called Forefront TMG.
So windowe won't kill themselves by providing such a role or feature on Windows 2008 Server.However, it seems that they have announced the end of Forefront TMG (support still alive until april 2015 and april 2020 depending on contract subscribed). By now i don't know if it will be replaced by another product or added as a role/feature in future Windows OS version.The fact is that the best and low-cost solution would be using Linux with the most popular proxy Squid.Here is a link about how to configure it as a transparent Proxy :https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/TransparentProxy.htmlHere an interesting resource also :https://www.shorewall.net/Shorewall_Squid_Usage.htmlNote that you will need to deal with iptables (most popular Linux firewall) to redirect traffic to the Proxy.If you are not familiar with Linux i would suggest latest Ubuntu release (but not 13.10 because it has a limited time support).
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS would be a much better choice (in my opinion). Debian 6/7 could be an alternative also.ps : No, use Linux ! :) TechnologyLife / ArtsCulture / RecreationScienceOther� Stack Overflow� Server Fault� Super User� Web Applications� Ask Ubuntu� Webmasters� Game Development� TeX - LaTeX� Programmers� Unix & Linux� Ask Different (Apple)� WordPress Development� Geographic Information Systems� Electrical Engineering� Android Enthusiasts� Information Security� Database Administrators� Drupal Answers� SharePoint� User Experience� Mathematica� Salesforce� ExpressionEngine� Answers� Cryptography� Code Review� Magento� Signal Processing� Raspberry Pi� Programming Puzzles & Code Golf�more (7)� Photography� Science Fiction & Fantasy� Graphic Design� Movies & TV� Music: Practice & Theory� Seasoned Advice (cooking)� Home Improvement� Personal Finance & Money� Academia�more (8)� English Language & Usage� Skeptics� Mi Yodeya (Judaism)� Travel� Christianity� English Language Learners� Japanese Language� Arqade (gaming)� Bicycles� Role-playing Games� Anime & Manga�more (18)� Mathematics� Cross Validated (stats)� Theoretical Computer Science� Physics� MathOverflow� Chemistry� Biology� Computer Science� Philosophy�more (3)� Stack Apps� Meta Stack Exchange� Area 51� Stack Overflow Careers https://cedar.net.au/how-to-install-s.Hello awesome people.
David's back with a new how to video showing how to install and configure squid proxy server to speed up your home/office network and save on bandwidth.Watch in HD 720p for serveg visual quality.Links mentioned in video-###-Updated-###https://cedar.net.au/how-to-install-s. Since Windows Server 2008 R2 does not have an ISA (Internet Security & Acceleration) server built in you would need to setup one.Here is a resource on ISA: https://www.isaserver.org/Microsoft has a resource on ISA at: https://www.microsoft.com/ forefro.Another solution is using Squid.Here is the main Windows source for Squid: https://squid.acmeconsulti ng.it/The site is in Italian, but you can use translate if you need.A source to read would be: https://wiki.squid-cache.o rg/Hope this helps. Before you do - you might want to take a look at ARR and Proxy ServersLoad Balancers vs IIS ARR or a Web Application Proxy (WA) for HAUnderstanding the differences between a load balancer and software features like Microsoft IIS's ARR and a Web Application Proxy (WAP) can be confusing.
We compare setver full feature set of a Load Balancer appliance / ADC (Application Delivery Controller) versus Application Request Routing, especially for High AvailabilityLoad Windoows vs IIS ARR or a Web Application Proxy (WA) for HA As others have indicated (and been downvoted?) Win 2008 R2 does not include proxy software as part of the base OS. You'll need to either install a separate piece of software for that purpose (Squid has a Windows port Squid 2.7 for Windows) OR run another OS on the hardware that includes proxy software OR run another OS as a virtual with the 2008 server acting as the hypervisor. Theres really nothing special about a http [reverse] wineows server.
All it really is is a piece of software which issues a http request on someones behalf and then forwards them the response obtained from the origin server.The client may or may not be aware that the server it is talking to is proxying requests on its behalf.Common proxy servers (or servers supporting reverse proxying):squidapache (via mod_proxy)nginxiis (via the application request routing module)(many others)One approach would be to install IIS, ARR, and then configure a rewrite rule.Setting up a Reverse Proxy using IIS, URL Rewrite and ARRIIS happens to be microsofts supported webserver.
You could, of course, use another server if you wish. You could use ClearOS rather than Windows it offers functions similar to active directory, Web server, proxy server, email server, mySQL server, content filtering, ftp.If you didn't want to replace Windows you could run it as a virtual machine, but I think it uses Squid so you could probably find that to run on windows anyway.

I'm not very familiar with all the features of Windows Server 2008, servver I decided to install some other program that seemed to do the job. That program is called CC Proxy (the demo version). But it eindows inadequate since my server has 2 available IPs, yet CC proxy does not allow me to choose which IP should be used as default, and it lacks other features in general.I've googled a bit, but couldn't find any easy solution or program to accomplish what I want.
I need a solution that allows me to specify an IP to be used (or how can I do this in Windows itself?), support authentication, and preferably be freeware or a built-in feature in the OS. But like I said, I'm not very familiar with Windows Server 2008.Basically, my question is: does anyone know an advanced piece of software that serves are proxy server, or perhaps a built-in feature in Windows Server 2008? Squid is prob the best FREE proxy software out there, and clearly the one with seever most features and configuration options.https://www.squid-cache.org/You can download the windows ports here, and 2.7 clearly states it runs on 2k8 either 32 or 64https://squid.acmeconsulting.it/Currently supported Windows platforms:* Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and Server SP4 sevrer later* Windows 2000 Professional and Server* Windows XP Professional (x86 and x64)* Windows 2003 Server (x86 and x64)* Windows Vista (x86 and x64)* Windows 2008 Server (x86 and x64)Or you could go the MS ISA route - but sure ain't cheap ;) And ISA 2006 does not run on 2k82k8 not really your best choice for running a proxy.
Better off using specific linux distro as your proxy server. Sercer are quite a few of them out there designed specifically for that function. Thanks for the link to the windows port. I found Squid, but only the *nix version.I know 2008 isn't really a popular platform to run a proxy server on, but it's all I have right now. It's a mighty beast, and runs other services as well at this moment. But I'll give the Squid port a try, thanks again.

What other services? dhcp, dns, file sharing, ?Something like clarkconnect (community version = free) Does proxy, content filtering for you with the ease of web gui to manage it all, out of the box for example plus much much more.https://www.clarkconnect.com/Saying its all you have is not a true statement - there are lots of options other than 2k8 that would cost you nothing more than the download. If you don't want to give up 2008 as your main server os, you could virtual a linux distro to handle it or find a old spare pc, most linux operating systems don't need much when they just run at the command line.

(???) hello I am dealing with server 2008 std an my goal is to be albe so set op a proxy server on my local network, so I am able to control which websites is allowed allowed, and at the same time get to learn about how a proxy actually works.
I have seached a lot around the net but I havent been able to prox any kind of guid that show how you set up your computer to work as a proxyserver for you local network. I found the windows server 2008 wondows manager administration kit, but I can only creat auto dialers for vpn servers with that and VPN connections isn't neccesary for me since the server only has to between the local net and the internet.
I really hope someone can explain or show me a guid about how to web proxy windows 2008 server up a proper proxy server. Hey, Isn't it great when people just push you else where rather than help? Anyway, Windows 2008 server (and 2000,2003) comes with RRAS. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd458971(WS.10).aspx There is a guide that tells you how to configure this.
Essentially turn it on, and then right click and use the wizard to configure it as a router between two networks :) Hey, Isn't it great when people just push you else where rather than help?

Web Application Proxy servers require the following certificates in the certificate store on each Web Application Proxy server:�A certificate whose subject covers the federation service name. If you want to use Workplace Join, the certificate must also contain aindows following subject alternative names (SANs):
For these required certificates, there are two options for the issuing CA:�Public�Supplied by a 3rd party.A website certificate used for server authentication. If the certificate subject is not a wildcard, it must be the externally resolvable fully qualified domain name (FQDN) URL that you configure on the Web Application Proxy server for the application.�Private�The following are required, if they do not already exist:�A website certificate used for server authentication.
The certificate subject should be an externally resolvable FQDN that is reachable from the Internet. The certificate can be based on the certificate template created in Configure certificate templates.�A certificate revocation list (CRL) distribution point that is reachable from a publicly resolvable FQDN.Make sure that the website certificate used for server authentication meets the following requirements:�The common name of the certificate should match the name that you configure for the external URL of the published web application, or the federation service name.�For the Enhanced Key Usage field, use the Server Authentication web proxy windows 2008 server identifier (OID).�For the CRL Distribution Points field, specify a CRL wweb point that is accessible by client devices that are connected to the Internet.�The certificate must have a private key.�The certificate must be imported directly into the personal store.�Certificates can have wildcards in the name.
A wildcard certificate with the subject name *.contoso.com can be used for web applications in the domain contoso.com, for example, srever and owa.contoso.com. This wildcard certificate cannot be used for the website sharepoint.internal.contoso.com.�Certificates can be subject alternative name (SAN) certificates.
For example, a SAN certificate with the names owa.contoso.com and werver can be used for only those two websites. It cannot be used for sharepoint.contoso.com.
