RE: Finding out IP address of external interface of web proxy

Yes he can, he could use web pages like myipaddress.com, to discover the
external IP.
They could also use some ip tool like traceroute or similar to discover how
the packets travel the network and discover the actual IP of your proxy
server.

Warm regards,

Asunto: Finding out IP address of external interface of web proxy

Hello All


How do I find out the IP address of the external interface of my web proxy?

To explain a bit further: A user browses web sitting in a LAN through the
web proxy that allows HTTP. The web proxy is connected to the LAN using one
interface and it is connected to the outer network using another interface.
Can the user find out the IP address of the outer interface? If yes, how?


Thanks in advance for any replies.
