Hello all,
I'm using SSL deep inspection through firewalls here. It works reasonably well. The only problem is when applications do things that can't be allowed by any rule, and there's no way to configure a proxy for them. For example, Steam.
So I've been experimenting with some Bash variables. My startscript:
And the whole thing actually seems to work very well. The firewall log confirms this, too.
My question is what do I need to watch out for to make sure that another application doesn't accidentally go through the proxy when it's not supposed to? Are there situations where this could happen?
Thanks
