with the config that I gave above your proxy server address you would configure for your hosts would be 172.60.1.10.<br />
<br />
Also, if you do use the NAT route, be sure not to use the 172.60.1.10 address on an actual device.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
A barracuda web filter crashed over the weekend during it's automatic update and prevented access to the Internet for everyone.<br />
<br />
For the users, I have a active directory group policy enabling proxy settings for it's address 'BARRACUDA' and port '3128' (user configuration &gt;&nbsp;windows settings &gt;&nbsp;internet explorer maintenance &gt;&nbsp;connection &gt;&nbsp;proxysettings) Simply reversing the policy was sufficient to allow access for users again.<br />
<br />
To prevent such issues in the future: &nbsp;What, if any, intermediate device can I point to that will allow browsers to bypass the barracuda filter if it goes down again?<br />
<br />
Or, is their some setting on the barracuda device that will route traffic through regardless if it's hung up? (I ask this since I have no access to configure the device myself)<br />

barracuda 'proxy' fail - reroute?

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
