How the web proxy service can be configured via EdgeRouter’s CLI? A web proxy is useful for blocking, allowing or redirecting web traffic. There are a number of options associated with the web proxy service:

hg@optusnet# set service webproxy ?
administrator domain-noncache minimum-object-size
append-domain enable-access-log proxy-bypass
cache-size listen-address reply-block-mime
default-port maximum-object-size reply-body-max-size
domain-block mem-cache-size url-filtering

The basic configuration of the webproxy is the address to listen on (typically the LAN IP address of the router).

hg@optusnet# set service webproxy listen-address 192.168.50.193

After which, web filtering can be left up to squidguard (options when running squidguard are listed below):

hg@optusnet# set service webproxy url-filtering squidguard

Possible completions:

allow-ipaddr-url Allow option to allow IP address URLs
default-action Default action
enable-safe-search Enable safe-mode search on popular search engines
local-block Local site to block
local-block-keyword Local keyword to block
