Transparent Proxy Filtering With MikroTik

Have you ever wondered how DNSFilter's transparent proxying feature works? Let's dive in and take a closer look!

DNSFilter's transparent proxying allows for easy implementation of our web filtering without the need for complex network configurations. Here are the key things you need to know:

Transparent proxying requires no user configuration
All network traffic passes through the DNSFilter proxy without the need to configure each individual device
This means that all devices-- no matter what operating system or location-- can be filtered quickly and easily to ensure safe and secure web browsing.

So, how does it work?

Transparent proxying works by redirecting device traffic through a port on the DNSFilter server. This port captures and forwards the traffic on to the website the user is attempting to access. This all happens in the background, without the user even knowing it's occurring.

Here are some key benefits of using DNSFilter's transparent proxying feature:

Effortless implementation: Transparent proxying requires minimal setup and configuration, making it an extremely accessible feature for IT administrators of all levels.
Better network security: By routing all traffic through a proxy, DNSFilter's filtering service can catch and eliminate malicious web content before it even reaches the end user.
Improved performance: Because all traffic is routed through DNSFilter's servers, we can implement additional optimizations to ensure our filtering services have a minimal impact on network performance.
Flexibility: Transparent proxying can be used in a wide range of network configurations, making it a powerful tool for IT administrators no matter their specific setup and configuration.

So, what does this mean for your organization?
