Is Anyone Able to Post from Behind Untangle?
- 
Specifically here in MangoLassi. We've had so many reports that posting from behind an Untangle device just does not work. Is there anyone with an example of it actually working? I am unaware of anyone having gotten this to work.
Untangle is suspected of mangling the ioSocket traffic causing the problem.

No idea here.

I can view but not post from behind a watchguard at one client. I do not manage it though so cannot test.

That's what I've heard about both Watchguard and Untangle. My guess is that both are mangling Socket.io calls in the same way.

Just found another Watchguard user that can't access the site. That reinforces that quite a bit.
 - 
Testing!

Testing a second time.

Seems the proxy on the Watchguard makes things a bit wonky. I just created a simple packet filter to pass traffic from my ip to the mangolassi ip and BAM. Now things work.
Just to clarify, we pass http/https traffic though a proxy. I am not sure if its the ripping apart/reassembly or the application control or something else that is causing the problem. I figure it was just as easy to not let that crap touch the traffic and let it pass though. My assumption ended up being correct.

Thanks for testing and great to finally have you able to join us!

Just what I need, another "tool" to distract, me!

@g.jacobse installed Untangle yesterday and was instantly cut off from ML.
 - 
I can at least read ML - I'm determined to find an answer,..
 - 
It is definitely something with the web sockets stuff on the Watchguard series firewalls. I can read and even sign in (most of the time). But the notifications and unread counters never update right. As well as being unable to post.
 - 
On suggestion - Turned off all the UT Rack items other than Firewall...
Able to read, and post to ML. Chat and notifications work. Now to go back and find out WHY -
 - 
Turn them back on one by one to identify which one it is. Chances are it is a proxy.
 - 
I have, I've cycled through all the modules -
- 
Web Filter Lite
*Added site to pass list - did not allow. - 
Virus Blocker Lite
*Added site to pass list - did not allow. - 
Intrusion Prevention
 - 
Ad Blocker
 - 
Not currently used or active:
Application Control
Captive Portal 
Variations of the the above doesn't seem to matter - they all block that level of access to ML. The only modules running right now are:
- Spam Blocker
 - Phish Blocker
 - Firewall
 - Reports
 
Still researching.

Created two ByPass rules
Source with 162.242.243.171
Destination with 162.242.243.171Able to access / post / etc.
Of course - all that does is bypass it.. Pretty sure I'm looking another option..
 - 
Everyone seems to have to bypass the proxy stage to get it to work.
