Proxy Settings Not Applied to VPN Connection

Question

_{Friday, March 6, 2020 1:43 PM}

I've configured our Windows 10 workstations (laptops) to receive proxy settings (PAC URL) via GPO.  On the corporate network, everything is working as expected.  When connected to VPN, the internet traffic doesn't traverse the proxy.  I just noticed in the Proxy settings (Start>Settings>Network & Internet>Proxy):

"Use a proxy server for ethernet or Wi-Fi connections.  These settings don't apply to VPN connections."

That said, how can I enforce proxy settings while on VPN?

Hi,

>>That said, how can I enforce proxy settings while on VPN?

Based on my research, it seems impossible,

Ellen,

I appreciate your feedback, but that's the reverse of the problem I'm looking to solve - I need to ensure VPN traffic traverses the proxy, not enabling a VPN connection over a proxy.

Thanks,

Mike

Sorry that as it shows on the control panel, it is impossible.

Hello,

I came here to find how to set this by GPO, as I already know how to set proxy for VPN connections :

Internet Options > Connexions > Click on VPN connection > Properties > Proxy Server

Unfortunately, I still don't know how to deploy it by GPO...
